Party time!

Whew, what a busy weekend! Friday evening, we went to the Brooklyn Fair (the oldest agricultural fair in the country!) with Mem and Meme. Then we spent Saturday at Nana's house playing croquet with Aunt Abby, Aunt Sara, their friend Emily, Great uncle David, Great uncle Paul, and cousins Ruth Ellen and Melinda (and Nana, of course). Lots of fun!

Then today, we had a lovely time at a birthday party for our friends Jack and Elise. Jack is 6, and Elise is 4! The day held many firsts for Nora, including her first bouncy castle (big, big hit), her first pony ride (ok, but the bouncy castle was better), and her first pinata (fun stuff! She really liked the tissue paper streamers that fell off, and was convinced that was what all the big kids were scrambling for).

Enjoying the bouncy castle, with birthday girl Elise in pink.
Daddy says this is a rock star pose!
Time to play ball!
Ok, time for lunch. This is the sign for eat!
Watermelon makes a lovely appetizer, especially in a Nora-sized chair. She probably ate six slices of watermelon today! Nora adores toddler scale chairs. She has an armchair and a beach chair that she sits in all the time, and she seeks out chairs her size wherever we go. We went to a children's museum last week, and it took 15 minutes for her to get past the toddler sized chairs at the entrance, even with all the enticing new exhibits and toys just inside! Shh, don't tell - she's getting a table and chairs set for Christmas. :)
Hanging out with Mama, waiting our turn to ride on the pony, Sunny.
Sitting in the Jeep (don't worry, no batteries!) with Elise.
And solo!
