Vacation: Part Two

An afternoon at the beach! Too much fun! Sand, sand, sand everywhere!!

Vacation: Part one!

We went down to Newport for a few days a couple weeks ago and stayed with Mike's family. One day we went to San Juan Capistrano and the second day we went to the Saw Dust Festival. We also spent an afternoon at the beach. Sophia loved it! So here are few pictures of the petting zoo. And just hanging out with family! Sophia loves to play with her cousins Lauren and Lindsey. And she likes to give Kyle the stink eye! They were a big help on vacation. They were happy to keep her entertained and chase after her.

Chow Down!!

My baby can eat! She really enjoys and trying new foods! She is just like her Mama and Dada!! She loves her some pasta as you can see and she can't pass up a powdered donuts!!

Palm Springs

We went to Palm Springs a few weeks ago with my parents and my sister's family. We were only there for 2 days and that was more than enough time in 110 degree weather! There is not too much to do but we did find a children's museum with lots to do. Sophia really liked running around and being free to touch and explore. We also spent some time in the pool to try to keep cool. Sophia enjoyed spending time with her cousins as well. Unfortunately I did not get any picture of them, I guess we were too busy having fun! At night we went to down town Palm Springs with my parents and enjoyed the street fair and some ice cream. On the way home we stopped at the dinosaur exhibit. Mike could not believe that I had never been there, so of course we had to stop and take pictures!!

Swim Lessons!

Nice butt cheek!

Sophia loves loves loves swimming. She says swim mim ming! So cute! She has gotten really good too. She can hold on the the wall by herself and climb out of the pool. She knows to wait until I count to three before jumping in. She can blow bubble and goes under water without crying. We pretty much take lessons all summer long. It is inexpensive and gives us something to do two morning out of the week. And if we are not swimming at out lessons we are at grandma's and papa's house swimming with cousins. We just love summer! Sophia is working on a nice little tan and mama tries not to burn! Mike was able to go with us this week and act as my photographer! Thanks dada for the great pictures. Next time you are getting in the water!
