Leah Sleeps Over

We had my niece and Kate and Maya's cousin, Leah, sleepover on Friday night.  Not only was Kate EXTREMELY excited to have a sleepover, she was also EXTREMELY excited to have a sleepover with 9 year old Leah.  Because, seriously...when you're five, what's better than hanging out with a nine year old?!

We had a blast together!  We picked up Leah on Friday night at El Vaquero after we all had dinner.  When we got home we went for a bike ride to the park.  This was the first time Maya rode her bike all the way to the park and she was so proud!  After we were home and everyone was bathed, Maya went to bed and Kate and Leah colored while they watched part of a movie.  Then when it was their turn to head upstairs.  They both got into Kate's bed and the giggles continued!  I got a tiny glimpse of what a real sleepover will be like in the very near future!

I thought for sure the girls would tire themselves out but they didn't fall asleep until close to 11 PM!  Oops.  And Kate's ballet recital was the very next morning, so I was a bit sad that she'd be so tired.  But, nothing I could do at that point.

So the next day, Leah joined us for Kate's ballet recital and when we returned home we went to the pool!  Leah tackled the rock wall and Kate tackled the lily pads.  Kate and Maya want ice cream from the pool and Leah wanted to stop at the Goodie Shop to pick out a cookie so we did both and everyone got a little of both.  #success

Kate and Maya adored having Leah over and Leah is such a sweet girl!  We all loved our time with her and are looking forward to doing this again!

Leah is the coolest, by far!

Bike riding to the park!

Maya kept saying, "Hey Guys? Wait for me. Wait for me."

Cutie patootie!

Such sweet girlies!

Trio of trouble!

Taking the park elevator down!

Movie/Coloring - on the back of one of these I got a note that said,
"We want some food. -Leah & Kate"  Um.  Not at 8:30 pm, ladies.

Pool girls!

Leah does the rock wall!

Kate tackles the lily pads!

This was the first time she ever did them!

And she did a fantastic job!

Love that brave, brave girl of mine!
