A laundry basket provides much fun and entertainment.  Sometimes, they are enjoyed as double passenger vehicles, and sometimes, one person per seat.

Either way, they have tons of fun.

And, remember that they do in fact love each other.  And, they like to hug.

And be oh, so silly together.

And, sometimes, the ride gets a little shaky and they fall over.

Of course, they get right back up and do it all over again.

Talk about a walk down memory lane.

My mom purchased a play parachute for the girls to use during our visit to Houston.

My sister, hubby and I were reliving our youth from PE classes in elementary school and the girls were experiencing something totally new and awesome to them.

We first played with just the parachute.  Up and down, making a mushroom cloud and getting inside it.

Then, we remembered that we used soft-foamy balls as "popcorn" to bounce around the parachute.  We didn't have any of those, so we used some linky toys instead.

We spread them out on the parachute.

Then, we grabbed onto the handles and bounced the "popcorn" around.  I wouldn't really recommend this source of "popcorn" as it goes pretty high and isn't the softest.  I guess we learned why we used foam balls in elementary school.

Obviously, they had a blast, though!  That's some joy right there.

Evidence of the "shrapnel popcorn" flung around grandma's living room.

Then, the girls grew tired of holding onto the parachute, and jumped on for a ride.  They were a little heavier than the previous "popcorn" so they didn't fly off!

*unless of course they try to eat them, because that’s really, really bad.

We went out for dinner.  To a real restaurant.  With both kids.  It doesn’t happen often.

And, it was just what we needed.

After dinner, the wonderful, genius waitress bought us 10 more minutes at the table by bringing us some fabulous balloons.

In fact, it bought us at least 20 minutes of fun at home, too.

Playing hide “balloon head Izzy.”

And, then “peek-a-boo.”

Followed by “reach for the sky.”

And then, “I almost got it” (times two if you look in the back).

Shortly after, some “I see you.”

With a quick shot with mommy and “you can’t see me through this blue balloon.”

The look of the “determined balloon catcher.”

And, a baby gazing at her momma.
