Charlie's 2nd birthday!

Today we celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday and, just like last year, we went to BB and Poppy's farm for the day!  The theme was Thomas the Tank Engine- it's Charliebear's obsession! :)

All the children went swimming after the presents, but Charlie just wanted to sit inside and play quietly.  :)

The big kids went swimming for hours and then boating with the daddies.  Here they are resting on the dock-

Of course Frick and Frack are doing their own thing together-

After our friends left we stayed and had a few more adventures.  Daddy took the children on a wagon ride-

And Poppy took Charlie to get chairs from the barn for fishing-

Sissy was in the zone today- she caught two fish!

As soon as she reeled it in she shouted, "I've caught a bass!"  She is is good at knowing species!

After fishing Poppy cooked out steaks and we had potatos grown on their farm and salad with tomatoes grown on their farm!  A fun day to celebrate my angel- we love you Charliebear!
