So I continue on with the chronicle of our summer. I always have big plans and good intentions at the beginning of the summer to visit all these places, but it always goes by so fast and we never get around to all of them. But we did do some and here are the pictures to prove it!
Addison and I went to the City Museum. It was a HOT summer day and the air conditioning was welcomed! This place had so many nooks and crannies to get lost in.
She of course loved the slide.
And she couldn't get enough of running up and down the ramp.
Making her way down like a pro. No help needed by Mommy with those big steps!
She kept running away and giving me a heart attack.
Here she kept circling this post.
What's up there?
Picasso!
Picasso who doesn't like paint on her hands.
Playing with clay.
Future teacher maybe?
Checking out some performers.
Loved the spiral staircase. It was the only distraction to the candy shop below.
The big slide that she didn't get to go on.
Maybe next time when there's 2 adults...
Not posing well for a picture.
For Doug's godson Aaron's birthday, he wanted to go to the zoo. Ana was able to join because she was at the right place at the right time! We did nearly everything there was to do it seems. It was a long day, but a great day and I think everyone had a blast. Addison did exceptionally well considering she didn't nap until late in the day.
Getting ready to see the sea lion show!
Checking out the sting rays.
I think we all were a little nervous about touching one!
I should have set the timer on this one and joined in. There was a spot for me ;)
Not a fan of the goats, big surprise.
The butterfly house.
Always the serious face...
Taking a ride on the train.
Aaron showing his hammer head shark that he got at the gift shop.
Aaaaaand....she's out.
We went to the Freeburg Homecoming and Addison absolutely loved all the rides. Her and Collin teamed up and tackled them all. You should have seen those two together, they were so stinkin' cute and giddy with excitement!
Doing the big slide.
We were all a little apprehensive about putting them on the Ferris Wheel, but they did great
I think this was their favorite ride.
Just a swingin'....
The parade.
Look at that expression. She's just getting too big!
Candy!
See Uncle Chris, I got all this candy.
Now can you open it so I don't have to eat it through the wrapper?
Carousel with Daddy!
Collin's turn down the slide.
And Addison even got Doug to go down the slide!
All 3 in the car, driving like crazy people.
This was another favorite. Non-stop giggles.
So this excursion happened in October, but I thought I would just add it here. Janel and I took our kids to the Magic House. That place is so cool, they have so much stuff for Addison's age. They loved it.
Playing the piano.
Another slide!
A favorite, the water table.
She loves to buy groceries.
The banker!
A superb waitress.
The kiddos.
Next year we'll have to hit up the places we didn't fit in this year. It was a fun summer and I loved our little outings!
