It was tough to top the beginning of July when we had fun visitors but we tried to make the most of it:
Fun at the safari park. Can you spot the tiger (Anna) in her shirt??She kept it in there the entire morning! Kept telling me to be quiet because baby Anna was sleeping :)
Lion cubs. They were so close and so beautiful!
Syd loved checking them out. This was the first time we can remember that Cole was scared of them. He held onto me for dear life and wouldn't look at them if I got too close.
We found this awesome cave that they played in forever. I had to drag them both out of there so another little girl could have a turn.
We went to lake miramar one morning. The kids were checking out the ducks:
Looks so old here!
Momma and Syd selfie
I had a Moms afternoon out at the winery one day so Daddy decided to have a party while I was gone. He made party hats for all!
Cole not so sure...
Until Daddy put one on and then he was all about it!
Cole trying on his new swimmers before getting into Nani & Poppas pool.
Our preschool group had meetup at the zoo (they do them once a month for moms/dads groups). This month was reptiles so we met a python!
Cole touched the snake but Syd didn't want to pet him - just look at him!
Tortoises!
Checking out the gators
Cole with the polar bears
Syd and the sea lion
Uncle Rich competed in the Lake Placid IronMan so we made him a sign for good luck.
Happy kids with a popsicle after naps.
We've had some pretty warm days the past week but the sunsets have been gorgeous!
Puzzles at the library! She LOVES puzzles and is getting so grat at doing them all by herself.
Sydney's highlight for July was getting her Halloween costume. Yes, I realize it's 3 months away but we saw them last week at Costco and I told her maybe another time so this week when we went she reminded me that I told her we could get a costume so we did! She could choose any one she wanted and she chose my little pony! It's a tad big but she LOVES it and has worn it every.single. day. since we got it. We've gotten our $'s worth already!
There are a few stores near us that have the little shopping carts - she LOVES them. We go reallllllly early if I'm going to let her push them so we avoid most of the crowds.
Stocking up on the essentials: chips, salsa and raisins!
Two happy shoppers = productive morning!
