As we did last year, I took the girls to Tivoli for a week while Chris went back to work. They did a morning pottery "camp" with Apple and Milli, which they really enjoyed. And of course along with camp comes playdates and sleepovers!
Gigi and Grand-dad put on such a nice party for my 45th birthday and (my niece) Daphne's 1st. And it was a wonderful surprise to have Chris come up from the city mid-week to help us celebrate!
We finished our week in Tivoli with a visit to the Dutchess County Fair with Apple and Milli! The girls were fascinated this year by the Talent Tent, which spared me and Katie lots of standing around in the hot sun watching them go on the rides or throw money at the prize booths. We ended the day at a concert put on by a group that had entirely recycled instruments, did lots of dancing and rapping, and overall was extremely loud. But again, we were in the shade and seated, so we couldn't complain.
