Happy Birthday Elle and Francesca!



We headed to McCarren Park in Williamsburg on Saturday to celebrate Elle and Frankie's second birthday.  The party was in the park next to the best sprinkler park I have been to (I am a little new to the park scene since Lyla was too young to play in parks last summer, but apparently sprinkler parks are the place to be in the city in the summer). It was a hot hazy day -- perfect for sprinkler play!



Lyla was the first one in the sprinklers and we had to pry her out at the end of the party.







Getting splashed


Climbing through the cement fence. She ended up getting stuck and has a couple of scrapes from me pulling her through.




Elle wondering what this crazy girl is doing.


Mark had to run through the sprinklers to get her and got himself soaked in the process.


We couldn't get her out in time to sing happy birthday to the twins. Here is everyone else singing happy birthday.


But we did get her out in time to have a cupcake.


Lyla and Elle were stealing little candy pieces off the cupcakes.  This is the "who us" look I got when I asked what they were doing.

I call this her "Lyla from the block" shot -- leopard bathing suit checking out the basketball court


What is the logical thing to do after a two year olds' birthday party? Hit up a brewery, of course! Shannon and Kevin live right down the block from Brooklyn Brewery, so we spent the afternoon cooling off with Summer Ale.


Lyla slept most of the time we were at the bar, so we were able to relax a bit.




Ro Ro slept the whole time on Shannon.


When Lyla did wake up, she was pretty good at keeping herself entertained.


And entertaining us. I gave her an 8 out of 10 for her behavior :)
