Jake and Kaley

This summer I worked as a nanny for Jake and Kaley.  We hung out with them a couple times each day.  Sometimes they came with us and we did some fun things.  You loved these two and had so much fun with them.  



Splash Parks

The local park district has several fun splash parks. We went to a few of them this summer and you LOVED it.

Here you are making the sign asking for "more" spraying water:


Fascinated by the fountain:

Working on the Computer

You sit still so rarely, so this moment was particularly funny. You climbed into our friend's bumbo with the computer on your lap. You were very studiously working on that computer.

Blueberry Picking

We went with Michelle and Gabbi up to Homestead Farms (a farm in Maryland that we've been to before) to go berry picking. We had a blast. We rode a tractor out to the berry fields:



You LOVED this tractor. After our ride you kept chasing it, wanting to ride again.

The farmer taught us how to identify a good blueberry (the bigger it is, the better it will taste) and we went to work.


You had so much fun picking the blueberries. You put one in your mouth and decided it was delicious. You ended up grabbing them off the plant and eating them by the handful.

After picking blueberries we went and looked at all the animals.


Definitely a day that put a smile on your face.


You and Gabbi fell asleep on the ride home. What a fun day it was!

Playing in the Park





Chasing the Doggie

We went to the park to play one day. While we were there you saw a doggy walking through the park and you got SO excited and started chasing it.


I love this video because it shows your delightful excitement.

Planting Flowers

We planted flowers on our balcony this year. You loved playing in the dirt.
