Feasting on familiar faces

We had such a wonderful time in San Diego! Actually we were staying in Encinitas, just north of San Diego. It totally felt like we were just feasting on the happy familiar faces of our long lost friends. We are so lucky to have such great friends :-)
Here are: Elke, Isabella, Rhiannon and Sofia happily eating watermelon over the weekend.Rhiannon and Isabella got along so well during our stay. It must be hard to have your 'friend' come in to play with all your stuff and then not leave for a few days! There were a couple of conflicts, but nothing major. It was so great to see the two girls work things out for themselves. Both Isa and Rhii have the same doll, so they did a lot of babydoll related activities -- pushing them around in strollers, in shopping carts, feeding them cheese, and nursing them as pictured here. I guess Isa's baby didn't have a good latch here...
When Elke came over to play, it was all systems go on the play structure in the backyard.
Rhiannon did a lot of pushing and pulling vehicles around -- the shopping cart, the rolling suitcase/ backpack, the stroller, the lawnmower -- and usually she was trying to push and pull at least 2 or 3 of these items at the same time! She loved parking them all inside of the play structure and then bringing snacks inside to munch on.
