Rhinebeck on the Nicest Day of the Year
There had been some rainy days last week, which gave Evie the chance to try on her new raincoat.

But Saturday was by far the nicest day of the year. Not too hot, but plenty of sun. We decided to head in to Rhinebeck to do some shopping for friends’ birthday gifts. Evie had to bring out her new shades—mostly so as not to be recognized.



It’s never long before Evie decides to let down the cool facade and sneak in a cheesy grin or two.

Evie spent the last part of our trip riding on my shoulders, alternately pointing out non-existent airplanes (”MANE!”) and attempting to steer me like a horse, using my sunglasses’ stems as reins. (In other words, the usual.)

I’m with Niki – I love the raincoat. But what is funnier is that she so looks like a mini Rob in that photo so i can now imagine what Rob would look like in a yellow monkey coat!

@Bexta…ha ha ha. You are so right. I think Rob needs a matching coat! Also…who thinks Evie has her cousin Chloe’s cheeky grin!?
