Today is Helen and Sophie's 8th birthday! They don't officially turn 8 until 9:37pm and 9:51pm, but as far as they are concerned they are already 8. In fact they're both convinced they grew taller overnight. It's going to be a birthday weekend, full of celebrations. It started out with blueberry picking at Owl's Head Farm last night and a little picnic dinner there with my parents. We picked 18 (!!!) quarts of blueberries and this was part of my take:
Imagine coming home to find no freezer ziplocs!
The celebrations continue - with camp friends today, with my parents again tomorrow (and a little visit to the Alpine Slide at Stowe - can't WAIT for that!), and with 10-12 friends at their official party on Sunday - a nice scavenger hunt and water slide party. Summer birthdays are so much fun when the weather cooperates.
I was looking through some photos this morning, and getting a little nostalgic. Here are some of my favorites...
