Summer Part 2

I had to steal some pictures from my sister in law in order to finish my update of our summer. In June we went to the zoo for Ryan's mom's birthday. We had a lot of fun there.

Us in the eagle's nest. Do you think this is the same one I used to get into when I was Elise's age?

 

Big smiles and tongue...I'm not sure why....

Seals were Elise's favorite. She stayed there for ages. And squealed everytime they swam by. 

She was so proud of herself that she got up there by herself. She kept saying "ROAR!"

 And then the Saturday after the fourth we had a huge BBQ and a little swim party with Ryan's side of the family.

Here is all the cousins in the pool, DUKE, ELISE, ATLEE, LOGAN

This may be too late for some but have you seen that pinterest pin that says to put sparklers in a cup to seperate their hands from the flame?  Do not use the plasticy solo cups! They melt a hole and then your baby gets burned. I guess if we were to try this again we would try a wax dixie type cup?

They are best of friends instantly. After she left Elise would cry and we would ask her why and she would say "I miss Atwee"

I mean seriously cute right?

Daddy can be under your spell in July too right? These are the PJ's Atlee's mom brought from AZ so Elise had to have hers on too.

They were so nice to baby Duke too.

 I know that we posted about leaving Elise with Grandma and Grandpa and Kylie in my last post. Elise had a blast with them.

Kylie was really nice and babysat both her niece and nephew during the day. Elise is so sweet to him. I think they will be good friends.

Thanks Kylie!

I love Elise's face in this one. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
