Saturday was a beautiful day, so Penny and I went to the beach for a walk. We had a ton of fun hanging out and Penny had a blast playing on the equipment at the beach!

Story Time
Penny went to her first story time yesterday and loved it! The theme was popcorn and they read 3 books about popcorn, ate popcorn then got to color! Beth liked watching Penny play with her new friends!
Gardening with Grams
Penny was very excited to help Grams in the garden. Grams brought Aunt Karin a horseradish plant cutting from the plant in their yard. It was given to Grams by her dad when Grams and Grandpa Tom first moved into their house. Too bad Grams can’t bring some down to Chile for us 
Penny and Grandpa Tom
It’s amazing how much PEnny seems to have advanced this past week and a half. She’s really starting to talk and follow directions. Penny had a ton of fun playing with Grandpa Tom and can’t wait for August to play some more! Penny loves her Grandpa Tom!
Pataha Mill
Wednesday morning we said goodbye to Grandpa Tom and Grams. We had a wonderful visit with them and can’t wait for August! We spent the morning going to Pataha Flour Mill where Penny got to see all the antique mill parts and old items that people have donated. She had a great time looking at everything and it was a beautiful day. Beth wasn’t too impressed, she spent most of the time sleeping.
We then headed to Taco Time for lunch, which was a wonderful fast food mexican restaurant. Penny loved my crispy burrito and stole it and ate the whole thing!
After nap time we all headed out to feed the ducks. The ducks weren’t so into eating at the time, but Penny had a blast throwing in the bread! Beth looked adorable in her bear hat, but promptly fell asleep as soon as we got in the car!
Happy Baptism, Beth!
On Sunday we celebrated Beth’s baptism. It was a perfect day and Beth did wonderfully! Penny was a proud big cousin and enjoyed all the festivities.
