Sunday snapshots: Summer 2019

It's time for another installment of Sunday snapshots (Instagram tag: #sistersshotsonsundays)! Here's the collection from June, July, and August. Update: this is still my favorite series of photos I've ever done.

Claire was in TN for VBS with my in-laws for this week's picture. We hadn't banished her from the picture or anything.

To get pictures of the girls on Sundays, I usually take around 20 shots in quick succession. Sometimes, I get 1 or 2 good ones. I ALWAYS get a run of hilarious ones (and usually a bunch of blurry ones). Here's a series for you. Watch their faces for a good laugh.




I think that, in addition to a Sunday shot, this might also have been Father's Day...

Lily...

All in pink! See also: Lily's faces



Shades of purple!






And Nana!





We took lots of pictures this particular Sunday. Lots of bribery was necessary.

This time, Claire was in Alabama. Poor Lily was in charge of holding Brynnie. It's a challenge.



Bless the babies.




Brynn was really feeling herself this particular Sunday.

Lily takes issue when Brynn touches her dress. It's a whole thing.

But they had matching piggies, and it was TOO CUTE!



War cry? I'm not sure what's going on here.




Brynn was touching her dress again. All was lost.

But then she rallied!


It's an ordeal every week, but I love it. It's worth bribing them with sugar, methinks.

Time with friends!

We have traveled the majority of the two summers before this one, so it was fun to be around a bit more this year and hang out with friends. We played inside, outside, at the museum...all kinds of playing and fun were had by all.

Lunch with friends

Waiting for a play date at the museum. Lily loves watching the alpacas.

Reading about alpacas...



Watching a video about the alpacas...

Thinking about how much we love alpacas.

On the stationary train, watching the moving train go by.

Climbing on dinosaurs

Park play date


Happy swinging girl



Play date at the park turned into creating a habitat for water beetles. They spent two solid hours interacting with the beetles.

More beetles

We love our museum and go a LOT. It's always more fun with friends!

Pygmy goats!

(the girls are in their suits because there are quite a few water activities- not because we just give up on clothes in the summer)



Practicing teeter totter skills

Me and MY friend

Water slide birthday party! I grabbed Lily's suit and no swim diaper + Brynnie's swim diaper and no suit. I CAN'T BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING, GUYS.

But whatever. It worked out.

A good time was had by all.

Especially this girl.



The girls with the birthday guy!


Claire's Kindy bff.





Such a fun party!

Brynnie with her baby bestie.

Some of the bestest little buds.

So thankful for our little friends (and also for their wonderful mommies). We're glad we get to do the growing up with these guys!

Just another friendly reminder that I'm still playing catch-up. Clearly, it is not currently July... We made another annual trip to Tops...
