Last Sunday as a busy day for us! For lunch, we drove over to Bowie, Maryland to visit our friends Will & Clair and their adorable one year old son Joseph! We had a great time at their lovely home, making homemade pizza for lunch and letting our little ones get to know each other…

Later that evening, we went to Gymboree Play & Music in Burke to celebrate our friends’ son Danny turning two! Mio and Danny had met a few months ago when we went to Frying Pan Farm Park. This was our first time going to a party at Gymboree, but it was a lot of fun and we can see why it’s so popular!

I see you Mio!

Everyone was supposed to hop on the “train,” but Mio ran away from the group activity.

 

Happy birthday Danny!

Mio was in awe of the bubbles.

Making music together.
Mio’s favorite was music time: she loved hearing the instructor sing, and enthusiastically shook her maracas along with the song.

Mio also loved the parachute! The kids had fun running around under it.

 

After an hour of fun-filled playtime, it was time to eat!

Looking up at the balloons.
Mio had a lot of fun! She was especially fond of her party hat that she got at the party, and still likes to wear it even a week later… πŸ™‚
