Air-Babies

We finally got a little relief from the crazy wind, hail, and thunderstorms and the girls had some much needed outdoor play time. About 10 minutes into dinner time Annabelle starts requesting "outside, please" and luckily tonight we were able to appease her.

The girls really enjoy playing with their balls and basketball hoop.

Annabelle shows off her lay-up skills.

Gwyneth is more of a dunker. She doesn't mess around.
Air-GG!!
Expect to see this girl in the next slam-dunk contest. Look for Gwyneth's first line of her own Nike tennis shoes this fall.

Annabelle is the queen of the rebound and will wrestle you to the ground for the ball. She's our own Dennis Rodman minus the tats, green hair, and all-around bizarre behavior. She may not win the jump-ball, but you can count on her to be quick and sassy - don't take your eye off this girl!

Annabelle rules the playground (at least at the Meyer house) and is quickly teaching her sister the ropes. Gwyneth seems to catch on to everything very quickly and is doing her very best to keep up with her big sister.

"Follow me, GG".

A cautious GG is wondering if she is being led into a trap.

Yep, once GG climbs into the tunnel, Annabelle climbs out and takes off running.

Oh well, GG is happy and has the playhouse to herself - if only briefly!

"C'mon, GG - this is how you run and shriek!".

The girls were pretty worn out so we threw on pj's and watched an episode of "Wipeout". When the contestants fall, which they always do and it's never pretty, Annabelle will say "oh, wipeout", put her hand on her forehead, shake her head with disgust, and then laugh and laugh. GG laughs too but I'm pretty sure it's just at her sister's reaction. Now that's good family entertainment!
