"My Friend Brooke"

Or it could be better titled, "WHERE my Brooke friend?". Because every time Brooke was in a different room or car this is what Etta asked.

At the beginning of the week (it's great to be on a school vacation schedule!) we headed over to Cashmere, WA to visit our college friends Kent and Annie Chalmers. Brooke is about 3 months younger than Etta and her baby brother Oliver is EXACTLY two years younger.

For toddlers they got along and played amazingly well. It was mostly due to the fact that whenever Etta started to get worked up about a toy Brooke would just go find some other toy to play with. What a great girl!

The trip was very laid back. We didn't even drive anywhere on Monday. There is a playground and swimming pool within a short (trust me, I don't go far these days...) walking distance from their house. We pretty much just let girls be girls and enjoyed ourselves.

Collecting rocks. Two baskets - perfect.



Fun with chalk.



Reading to Kent.



Playing in the water. Great idea Annie!



Hmmmmmm, wonder what it tastes like?



Matching trio enjoying a good book. Both of these girls *love* to read.
