Ayla survives the Hurrinado

Just before the storm, Mommy finished rearranging a new play space near her desk- complete with mini kitchen and spongy rug. Ayla rode the storm out in the bath tub with Mommy and Gaby- we let her hold the flashlight so she wasn't so scared. She kept asking "What that noise?" when we heard the limbs and trees breaking.
The new rainy day play space helped keep them occupied while the power was out. The trees fell all around the house and it almost felt like an island- it was very quiet in the evenings and we built a little fire ring and made s'mores- Ayla had a lot of marshmallows!
The last photo is of Daddy standing in the middle of our street (he is facing north) in front of our house (I think day 3).

Ayla at the Irish Festival - Catch up post

Lots of fun to be had at the Irish festival! Since Mommy was alone, Ayla had to be strapped in the stroller a lot of the time. Next time, we'll be sure to recruit Daddy to help explore more! Ayla found a little friend near the play castle and they hugged for a good long time- so adorable! She especially liked to watch all the pretty girls clogging!
