all work and all play...

...makes for a very happy vivian day!! today was a play date with our friends stephanie and ruby. it has been such a long time...i am not quite sure who was happier to see each other, the mommys or the girls. we also were able to see ruby's beautiful little brother, trip, who turned a month old yesterday. (i know i should have taken a picture, but it was hard chasing two, two year olds!!) after a few minutes of chaos, and some much needed jumping on the bed the girls headed outside to play...

vivian instantly fell in love with ruby's mower. i am sure that rex wishes that it was that much fun to cut their yard ;)...

then it was on to the play slide, where vivian and ruby took turns climbing, jumping and (of course) sliding.

poor vivian is sometimes a little less than cooperative with the excessive picture taking...

...but alas, she found solace again in the mower! she is definitely a griffin girl who loves the outdoors...right, gege? can you say "side pleese"!!
