B & Lilly go to Free Spririt

Lilly came to visit last week while Amanda and Jon went to D.C. for the weekend. Actually, they went toJon’s sister Jessica’s wedding. Four WHOLE days away from home. Lucky sister, right?

Mom and I took the girls to Free Spirit Pottery one afternoon. If you are looking for something fun and free to do in the ‘boro with small children Free Spirit is a great idea. They give babies a complimentary plaque. It is totally 100% free. You can opt for a hand print or a foot print. We were hoping for a hand print; however the girls had something else in mind. After trying the hands a few times we finally surrendered. We used their feet. Apparently, after a certain age babies like to curl their fingers.

You may think this would be a short trip. Rather, it took us between 1 -2 hours to pick out the paint colors, try the hands SEVERAL times, get the girls painted and then washed, etc. It was a fun afternoon!

Would You Like Some Paint on Your Face?

Lilly Gets Her Hand Painted. Take 1.

Pressing Lilly’s Finger on the Plaque. Take 2.

Okay. Okay, We Will Use The Foot.

I’m so glad you stopped in to visit. The babies are so precious. I can only imagine the fun it was trying to get their little fingers to stay out for the placque! I’ll have to check out Free Spirit Pottery.. even if I don’t have little ones any longer. I love pottery, though :-) And any place that is kid friendly is a place I want to visit.
