July Fun

A couple weeks ago we had planned to go camping with some friends, but ended up staying home so we could get some much needed items checked off our "To-Do" list.  We got a lot of it done, if not all of it, and got to have some fun over the weekend just as our little family of three.

Blowing bubbles on the play ground - a huge hit!

 For only being 18 months, Aurora is really pretty good at blowing bubbles

 Probably way too many bubble-blowing pictures, but I can't resist that adorable face!!

 She was sad because we wouldn't let her hold the bubble bottle

 But she got over it pretty fast :)

 

 

 

 We're working on weaning off the binky.  She only gets it for nap and bed time now.  We count to 3 and she throws the binky in the crib where it stays all the time, and then she gets a treat for throwing it in the crib willingly.  Skittles are the treat of choice right now and we had to catch a shot of her blue tongue :)

 We attempted the SF splash pad again, but with the occasional afternoon storms we've been getting it was SUPER windy, so we ended up not playing around in the water

 

 The water blowing sideways--it was pretty chilly too!!

 So we played on the cool playground instead

 

 

 

 They have these cool seats that spin and spin and spin, just using gravity.  Pretty cool!

 The bumpy slide :)

 We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

That song kept running through my head when she'd play in the bubble window.

 Giving her daddy some smoochies

 Dar attempted the extremely difficult climbing wall thing.  It was a good attempt :)

 They did the rope course together

 And the rings :)

 

 By the time we got home the wind had died down and the sun came out, but we weren't going to drive back to SF, and since we were already in our swim attire we went to our clubhouse pool.

 Just chillaxin' :)

 A favorite pasttime

Notice how she can hold onto her tube all by herself?  We don't even need to hold onto her so much anymore--although we're always close by :)

 

 1...2...3!

 

The weekend was SO nice and much needed, although we were still very bummed about not going camping with our awesome friends...you know who you are, and we love you!  We're glad you still had a good time without us :)
