We had a fun morning at Duke Gardens with some friends today.  We had a picnic and walked over to the duck pond before we left.  Everyone was really good about staying close, so I wasn't chasing anyone down.  That made the whole thing so much more pleasant! 

And other fun news:
Apparently Alanna knows how to count to 100! I heard her counting while I was getting ready, and I wasn't expecting her to keep going, but she sure did!  I stopped what I was doing and listened.  She had to stop and think at times, and If she missed a number, she'd go back and fill it in.  Every time she remembered what set of ten she was starting (sixty, seventy, etc), she would grin at me...so proud of herself!

When we were playing outside this afternoon, Aidan and Alanna started getting some major hits with their golf set and tee-ball.  Alanna had a little trouble at first, but then she started getting the hang of it, and she connected with the ball every time.  One time, it would have gone into the cul-de-sac, but it hit the little "fence" around the flowers under the mailbox.  Aidan has figured out how to hit the ball without taking out the tee as well.  He hit the ball across the driveway once or twice!
