Crazy in Conway!

Last week Caroline and I went to Conway, Arkansas, to visit my best friend Tracy and her family. Tracy and I met as freshmen at Ole Miss and have been best friends ever since. And now it is so fun because we both have girls only a few months apart! Caroline was so excited to go to Adalyn's house! She could not wait to get there. Tracy also has a sweet boy named Hugh who will turn 2 in October. He was a good sport with the girls around and pretty much did his own thing!

They have a pool in their backyard so we did lots of swimming! I was so impressed with Adalyn and Caroline. Neither of them wanted to wear their floaties and they swam all over the pool!

Taking a popsicle break!



We had been in the pool for about 5 minutes when Caroline noticed the diving board. She immediately had to jump off the diving board, and she and Adalyn must have jumped off a thousand times!







Caroline and Adalyn only get to see each other about once a year, but they are always so excited to see each other and play together. I was gladly surprised at how sweet they played and interacted together. Adalyn was so sweet to share all of her toys with Caroline!

Tracy and I tried to buy the girls the same presents so they could play happily together! Here they are checking out their new lipglosses and twirling in their matching tutus!





Tracy even got the girls matching swimsuits and PJs (pictured with their matching pink teeth)!



On Monday, Caroline attended Adalyn's gymnastics class. The girls looked so cute in their leotards! (Tracy and I love this picture of the girls holding hands walking into gymnastics. Precious!)






On Tuesday, Tracy got a babysitter for Hugh and we took the girls to Little Rock. The first stop was Pigtails and Crewcuts where the girls got their hair cut.





Looking so sweet after they were finished!



After that we went to lunch and then did a little shopping. We got the girls some candy and Tracy and I took turns going into stores and watching the girls!

After nap time, the girls made pink cupcakes!





Caroline and I had so much fun in Conway. Tracy and Adam always make us feel right at home! It is always such a blessing to get to see Tracy and such an encouragement to both of us as we try to be the best Moms we can be! We are already missing them and looking forward to our next time together.
