Barbeque with the Turners

The Turners were having a barbeque at New Castle's 'Great Island Commons' and invited us to join.  This morning the girls insisted on wearing dresses, so Zoë picked out a pink and Abby a white, but then I noticed that Abby's had something on it, so she changed into a little blue one that Sarah had bought for the girls when we were in Oregon.  Abby walked into the bathroom, where Zoë was and Zoë's eyes widened and she informed me that she wanted to wear the same dress as Abby.  I'm pretty sure the girls know that this is pretty much the only outfit that they have that is exactly alike, and lately they want to be in the same thing as each other.  After sorting out the outfits we walked into town, yet again, to retrieve Zoë's sunglasses.  Instead of people just asking me if the girls were twins, I now got asked if they were identical twins.  Everyone commented on the matching dresses and sunglasses.  I wanted to explain to everyone that no, I am not one of those parents that has always dressed them alike just because they are twins, that this has been a recent choice on their part... but what can you do.

A little before noon we arrived at the commons and found our 'party'.  The place was packed, not only with people enjoying the area, but with two weddings and a vfw group.  Abby and Zoë had a fun time playing with the other kids... and their toys.  We played on the playground and just ran around near our picnic area.  After a while one of the other couples set up the t-ball game they brought and Daddy taught his girls how to bat.  After lunch, Zoë found a little frisbee, and after me showing her how a couple of times, got pretty good at it, even if she did let it loose behind her more than in front of her.  At one point Leann was attempting to get Quinn to go to sleep on one of the blankets and I was sitting chatting with her.  Abby came and sat by Quinn's head and started smoothing his head like Leann was doing.  Abby just couldn't help herself with trying to care for the baby.

Unfortunately we were the first to leave, as we were already late for nap time, and of course Abby and Zoë didn't want to leave as the other kids were still playing, and getting ready to go over to the beach area, but they slept well once we got home.
