Double double trouble trouble

Today Rhiannon stayed home from barnehage so that we could visit with our friends before things change around here! First my friend Fiona and her twin boys Finn & Magnus (~ the same age as Rhiannon) came over for the morning and midday, and then this afternoon my friend Candice came over with her twins Shawn & Sophia (~1 year older than Rhii). Here are Rhiannon and Magnus on the tire swing in the rain this morning -- they didn't seem to mind the weather!
And here is Fiona with everyone in the sand pit. This was Tryfan's first outing in rain gear and he did pretty well. Yes, he managed to sneak in loads of dirt, leaves and small rocks but its probably not the last time this happens. He loved to watch the big kids play, too.
By ~3pm, it was warm and sunny enough outside to bust out the wading pool (which had already been tucked away for the winter) and don swimsuits. Sophia & Shawn joined the action as well, although they were not as excited about the cold water as Tryfan & Rhiannon were! Tryfan was really funny because he kept leaning into the pool and slapping the water, then laughing (cawing) crazily.
Meanwhile, poor Bentley had to go to the vet yesterday because he has some owies on two of his paws. Now he has to wear this awful cone for a few days so that he won't be able to lick his wounds. Poor guy refused to lay down with this thing on his head last night so he spent ALL NIGHT sitting or standing up (and whining off and on all night as well). Finally today he figured out how to get comfortable in a laying position so he spent most of the day catching up with sleep. I think he thought he was being punished for something because he has been acting so sad and stressed with this thing on. But we have been giving him extra cuddles today and I think now he realizes he is not in trouble.

I'm blinded by the white bums.

Looks like they're growing big.
