Meet the Teacher

Brooke and her teacher Ms. Hellen She completed her checklist and met the class pet, Fudge the Hippo

The day before school started Brooke and I attended her "Meet the Teacher" day at her school. We got the chance to tour her classroom and see where everything was and we got to talk to her teacher (who is so very sweet!) I loved sharing this moment with Brooke and I am amazed at how much she has grown up into this little lady. I can not believe she is in Kindergarten-where did the time go?!

Blue Lake Springs

Ice Cream Cousins

Enjoying the lake with Grandma and Grandpa

Rounds of horseshoes was lots of fun!!!

We were lucky enough to enjoy our last week of summer with The Seffens and Masalin families in beautiful Blue Lake Springs. Grandma and Grandpa would like us to start an annual weekend get together during the summer and this was a great start. We were lucky that Auntie Lynn and Uncle George lent us their cabin so we could all enjoy eachother! We enjoyed lots of sun, swimming time in the lake and pool, horseshoes, laughs, cousin time, walks in the outdoors, and lifelong memories. Can't wait until next year, wonder where our next adventure will be??

The Vares Family Kayaking

Tahoe is my favorite place, I LOVE going there each year with my family. This year once again was filled with many laughs, yummy bbqs, kayaking, beach and pool time, mini golf, river rafing, lake view runs, and memories that will last a life time! I am already counting the days until next year!

Under the Sea at Music Circus

We headed to Music Circus, a round theater production company that was putting on The Little Mermaid. It was soooooo good and I found myself captured in the costumes and beautiful voices, the girls were in awe of the performances and excitement going on around them! It was such a wonderful evening with the girls-thanks Grammy for getting our tickets!

So Cal Visit conitnued

Is that a corndog or what!?!?

Fun at the Fair

This was the only ride we were able to sneak shorty/Bri on!

We left Ventura and headed to Costa Mesa to visit Uncle Toby, Auntie Titi and Brennan. Scott and I had to go to a wedding so Toby and Tien were nice enough to babysit for us! We spent Sunday together splashing at the beach. We headed home for naps and then over to the OC Fair. The kids had a super time! My girls are both ride junkies and love roller coasters. Poor Bri was too short for most of the rides and was so sad to see her sis and Brennan go on all the rides with out her. We did sneak her on one of the rides where the worker wasn't checking heights!! We enjoyed some yummy Fair food too. The girls said we HAVE to come back next year!
