We had a really, really good weekend.. We went to the Highlands Festival (Celtic on Sat., Scottish on Sunday). Saturday, we did that during the morning.. came back for the afternoon nap. Then in the afternoon we joined Panos, Tiffany and George and two other families at Willows beach. It was just a lovely day. Then Panos and family came back to our house for dinner. Panos and Zoe even shared a bath (too bad I couldn't find my camera). Tiffany and I learned one new tool.. we can discipline other people's children often better than our own. I was able to with a single look and phrase get Panos to stop banging on my windows, and Tiffany was successful at distracting Zoe from wanting to jump out of the bath when she inhaled some water up her nose (I would have had to pull her out, console her, and convince her to get back in).
Today we spent the whole day at the festival. Zoe napped in our denim beach blanket for almost two hours, pretty good considering we moved her once, and the noise (bagpipes! clapping!). Before her nap, she got really active, and I started teaching her to do somersaults. It was so cute. I also got some video of her doing her circle dance around Daddy. The weather was beautiful, breezy, clear.. which is how I ended up with a horrible sunburn. I think Zoe (with two applications of sunscreen) is fine.. but it looked like I got a little too little on one check and one leg. Too bad this mom can't take her own advice ;) I'm sure it will be a cold shower in the morning.
