Today we visiting our favorite pet store at the mall.... This time I took William out of his stroller and let him roam around. He first checked out all the little dogs but he was mostly interested in the Guinea Pigs.... He kept pointing and grunting at them. I think he thinks they growl or something. It was so cute and funny to watch.
I took the kiddos to the playground today to play and run around. I was hoping to sit on the bench and relax but I couldnt do that anymore. Little William has become an active little boy! He climbs on everything and doesnt seem to be afraid of falling and hurting himself. I had to follow him everywhere. Needless to say I was tired when we left !!!
Today was pageant day !!! This was our first time competing in the East Coast USA Pageant and it was a big pageant ! We were surprised to find out that there were 9 other girls in our age division ! Caitlyn did an awesome job....she really focused on what she had to do on stage...and smiled the whole time. She won 1st runner up and I couldnt be any happier!!! It is quite an accomplishment for competing against 9 other girls. Hopefully we will be back next year because we had a positive experience!

We were competing this weekend in the Miss EastCoast USA pageant and we had to head down to Natick Mass to register and turn in our photos + paperwork. So after William's nap we drove about an hour south to Natick Mass. We were a little early for registration so we stopped across the street at the Natick Mall. I was hoping there would be a little play area because the kids were sitting in the car for so long, I wanted them to get some energy out. We found the most adorable play area at the mall. It was in one of the store spaces and was very nicely done. It had a pirate ship, a treehouse, a rock climb, a slide, a bridge, and little ducks to sit on. It was a lot of fun for the kids ....they didnt want to leave !
The mall was a nice one...it had high end stores and even nicer anchor stores....it reminded me of the Galleria back in Dallas! It even had an American Girl Store. We didnt get a chance to visit it today but hopefully tomorrow. 
Today was the last day of the preschool year.... the two classes that attend on Tuesday and Thursdays put together a little performance for all the teachers and parents. They sang a few songs and sang with a lot of enthusiasm. I was so proud of the girls! They are going back in the Fall but will be going to mornings - three days a week. They grow so fast !

We left Peaks Island early today so we can attend the Bletzer's Memorial Day neighborhood pool party ! It was a nice turn out and a lot of people brought some great dishes. It was good to see our neighbors again after the long Winter... We got to catch up and the get the kiddos togteher too....they all enjoyed swimming and playing together. It was a fun day! 
Chris and the kiddos....
It turned out to be beautiful today !!! Earl, Annie, and Diana came to visit ...and we had a great cook out together. The view of the ocean and sailboats were spectacular !!! It was just so relaxing ! Later on in the day, we caught the local Memorial Day parade and stopped by the beach to pick up some shells....
We headed out to Peaks Island today for Memorial Day weekend....and it is the first time this year -kicking off Summer 2010! Unfortunately it was a little cloudy and cool but still nice enough to be out. We took our first walk along the water to check out the rocks, shells, and waves .... It was good to be back to our favorite place !!!
