Will I ever be caught up?

Now I am on computer #2 and camera #2 to catch up with summer once again. I am always confused whether to go in chronological order or backwards so that the reader views everything in order. I guess I am just happy to be including everything. Just think, once I blog through August I need to upload everything to shutterfly, and at some point I might even be able to print my two finished blogs in book form. someday, right? So here are some summer pix from late June and early July. Bubbles(6-28), parades, swimming, and a fun day trip to The Americana at Brand in Glendale(7-23), plus more of Laney's first solids(7-9).

More July!

We met Alice and Oqwe in Pasadena on July 12 for a makeup My Gym class and then stopped at Trader Joe's to pick up picnic fixings. We went to the park by the Rose Bowl. Lots of fruit, specifically bananas and strawberries, was eaten. The rest of the pix show some nappin', some double stroller (and vaccuum cleaner) test drives, and some shoe shoppin'

Postcard from Grandma and Grandpa

Owen and Laney received 3 or 4 postcards from Naples this summer. Here is one from around July 20.

Aquatic Center-July 21

In mid-July, we went to our neighbor Dane's fourth birthday party at The Aquatic Center, a local pool and water play area in town. We had a blast so I decided to go again with Tia Alice, Oqwe and Laney the following week on Thursday after My Gym. Two adults and three little ones at a pool mean we didn't take pictures inside, but here is one from the car. Owen had a blast! Can't wait to try it again next summer!

More summer Fun!

We visited daddy and Uncle Dave at work on July 22.

Sea World August 11

As most of you faithful blog readers know, I grew up about 45 minutes from Sea World of Ohio, and our family had season passes there for several years. We would go on a summer evening and catch a show, play a bit, and maybe see the fireworks.
I never visited Sea World of Florida during the 13 years I lived there, but I was very excited to experience Sea World again with my own child. So my parents and I, the kids, our cousin Alice, and her son Oqwe (9 days older than O.) all went to Sea World of San Diego on Aug. 11, the day after my uncle's birthday celebration (also in San Diego). It was a chillier and a bit overcast day, which was great. We went early, so the kids area wasn't too crowded yet. O. loved everything, and also going up the needle. We can't wait to return with daddy.
