Sprayground

It's still HOT here. Some of my California friends say "that's why I don't live in Tx." I just want you all to know that 57 days above 100 is not normal for Dallas and that's we are now setting records with the 2nd hottest summer in the history of Dallas. If it continues until Sept. 4th we will tie for the record from 1980. I'm almost to the point that I want to win and be part of one of the hottest summers, I mean we are sooooo close at this point. I also want a t-shirt that says "I survived the 2011 heat wave with toddlers!"

Sunday the family headed to the Lake Highlands sprayground. We haven't been in a while Asher wasn't really into it, but this time was different. I guess he's sick of the hot weather also!

I swear he said "CHEESE" when I took this picture!

Sometimes when Addie gives Asher a hug I'm afraid she'll squeeze he's head off!

Fun with Daddy

Trying to get Christmas Card pictures- I don't think we'll be using this one.

Addie wanted me to take pictures of her but she wouldn't look at the camera!

Asher was super tired and ready to go.
He came up to me and wanted to be held and he kept saying
"Bye Bye" So after 20 short minutes we headed home.

Idaho and the Grandparents

 Addie and I took a girls trip to meet up with my parents in Cord D Alene, Id.  

One of the best things about meeting up with my parents in CDA was that my best friend from childhood now lives there so we got to visit with Kindra and her family also!

Saturday was a long day filled with lots of activities.

We went to the framers market with Grandma and PaPa to look for berries for Addie.

We didn't really find many berries at the market but we did find a face painter!

Addie asked if the artist would paint a butterfly on her arm so she could see it. 

Adelynn's finished product! I think this was one of the best Addie has gotten!

After the farmers market we met up with my best friend Kindra and her family. Cord D'Alene had a big art show and street fair going on that weekend.

 Kindra's husband  Jeff was a part of Art on the Green ( art show).

 Jeff is an amazing artist check out Jeff's website !

Grandma bought Addie a book called Mudgy and Millie. It is about a moose and mouse playing hide-n-seek all over CDA. 

The city has 6 sculptures throughout town in conjunction with the book. We read Adelynn the book Saturday morning and while we walk all over town we found a couple of the sculptures.

After our fun downtown we headed back to the grandparents R.V. Park for a swim and a BBQ 

(for non-California people a BBQ is a cookout or grilling of burgers :)

Sunday we all slept in and than headed into town for a pirate cruise.

We took many pictures while we waited for the boat.

The pirate cruise was great! When we got on board the kids got pirate bandannas and pirate jewelry.

The pirates sang and danced for the kids and put on a great show.













The even let the kids get up and dance and sing!

Can you tell Addie really got into the dancing!

Once the crew found their treasure they shared it with the kids- notice Addie's new eye patch and sword!

If you are ever in CDA with a little one make sure to go on the pirate cruise it was the best!

After our trip around Cord D'Alene lake we all took a little rest

Addie and Papa "resting"

Sunday night we all went out for dinner and an amazing sundae with Kindra and her family.

Kindra and Heather

Addie and I had a great time visiting Idaho, our next visit will have to be longer and with our entire family!
