The Carmody Family: August 2007

Alden's birthday, Mattie's preschool and a hike in Boulder

One of Mattie's preschool friends, Alden, had a birthday party at a children's haircare salon. It's called "Lollilocks" and Mattie and Mackenzie had their first haircuts here. It's a really fun place for kids. The birthday parties had their hair done, got their toes painted and all dressed up as princesses. It looks like they all had a really fun time:

Meeting Dora the Explorer, MM gets wet and making mommy's stepping stone

The children's TV network, Nickelodeon, had a street fair near our house. Mattie, Mackenzie and Jonah all got to meet "Dora the Explorer". For those of you older than 8, Dora is a cartoon character who is bi-lingual and teaches kids how to speak Spanish. It's a really cute show and very educational:
