Fun in the Sun!

Well, the last two weeks have been scorching!  We've been making the most of the hot weather and enjoying these dog days of summer.  Last weekend, Eric shared one of his passions for art and finally gave Elaine a long anticipated "baby tour" of the Art Center.  She liked it so much there was lots of squealing and excitement.  Afterwards, we dined in the restaurant.  Delicious as always.


Here are the father-daughter pair outside by the sculpture in the reflecting pool.  Since we couldn't take photos inside, this was one of the only photos we could get.

We kicked off the 4th of July week with a fun little red polka dot number.  Somehow, I managed to find a whole week's worth of red white and blue outfits for our patriotic little lady.


On July 3rd, we had friends over for an informal little grilling and a visit to the parade that goes through our neighborhood.  We dined inside since it was so hot, and here is Elaine and her dinner date, AJ, who is one day older than her.  It was fun to see how they are doing all the same things!


Here is a photo (in age order) of a few of our little ladies all under a year old.  The baby on the right is one month old!


Wednesday July 4th, we suited up to meet the Thongvanhs at the pool!  We had a ball playing in the fountains, and we love how new it is and how much there is to do for Elaine.  I managed to go down a few waterslides and it was a great way to cool off from the heat!


Saturday, we were still thinking about how awesome our trip to the pool was on Wednesday, so we went back for more!  This time Elaine knew what her favorite things were, and she launched herself into the fun!


I just could not get enough of her reactions and laughter from these fountains.  She can walk holding our hands and just had a ball!


A few more of my absolute favorite pictures I know I will cherish for years to come.  My three greatest passions - my husband, my daughter and the water!


Here she is loving life on papa's shoulders.


I think we will be spending even more time here soon!
