bathing beauties

lately on friday mornings, dottie and i get together with kim and her girls, frannie and jane. last friday the weather was so gorgeous that we made plans to go to the beach. kim beat us there and decided that the beautiful sunny weather we were having in our neighborhood hadn't quite made it to the beach yet. plans changed and we met up at a local park in the mission, dolores park. the girls had so much fun running around, picnicking, eating popsicles, sunbathing, and just being silly that many tears were shed upon leaving. at the very end of the visit, we met some people who let the girls try on some cool "capeshirts" (they were clean...these people were looking for 4 year old models to shoot pictures for their website). i ended up buying dottie a red and orange one and she honestly didn't want to take it off for about 2 days. (it was also fun to see BB, frannie and jane's grandma who is friends with my parents in sewickley!)
