Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

"Kate, what sound does a bear make?"
"Roar!"


"Daddy, explain to me again what a hippo is?"



Things are about to cool off- heading in to see the penguins and puffins- one of our favorite places!


"I just can't keep my eyes open a moment longer! Night Night!"

"Side side!" = I want to go outside! in Kate language







Oh how I love being home for the summer! We are spending tons of time at the pool or, as is evident in the pictures, playing in the "wa wa" on our back patio or going for wagon rides in the neighborhood. I could get used to this:)

"I Hope You Still Feel Small When You Stand Beside the Ocean"







We took Kate on her first official vacation to Florida. Uncle Jerry was kind enough to let us use the condo in St. Pete. I have such fond childhood memories there. It was the first place I learned to swim; it was the first place I imagined myself a princess; it was the first place I really learned to relax and slow down, so it was wonderful to share that setting with my baby girl:) She loved the "wa wa" and couldn't get enough of Disney World. We will definitely return!
