I grew up in Hawaii where all we had is the beach (note my sarcasm?)...
Well now that I live in the desert, and it so super hot here, we have to find ways to stay cool in the summer. They have these places called "Splash Pads" with water features for the kids to run through. Alahna LOVES them and has a blast every time we go. Here are a few pictures from our last trip to one.
So I know I am a month behind in posting - but we had fun in July, trying to stay cool indoors by baking pies, eating fun and messy foods, playing with our favorite toy (Little People), and getting our second haircut (see pictures at the bottom where she's in blue). I hope that after I catch up through mid-August to post more often! I just need to catch up!
We were pretty low-key for the 4th of July this year! Alahna and I were on our own, because Ryan had to work. Alahna was in bed before the fireworks went off and lucky for me she slept through all the noise! On Saturday the 5th we went up to the Boulder City train station and met some girls from my play group and rode the train. Alahna had a great time running up and down the train's aisles! Baby girl had a hard time sitting still in the seats!! Here are a few pictures from that weekend: 
So I am a little late in posting this - but better late than never, right? LOL!
We went on vacation to San Diego at the end of June for a long weekend. We went to the beach, saw some great friends (Derek, Ann-Marie, and Alexandria), went to Sea World, and La Jolla. It was a fun trip, but a hard trip with Alahna! She was extremely fussy (working on that top molar!), and all out of whack on her sleeping schedule....so we had Miss Crabby Pants with us! She absolutely LOVED the beach though and we had a blast hanging out with our friends! I made a slideshow of my favorite pictures from the trip:
