Sea World

Sea World is such a fun place to go! We had a blast. We played, ate, watch shows, ate, looked at exhibits, ate, and were victims to some crazy seagull attacks! You could spend a few days there with everything there is to do. We had lots of fun. We paid for these expensive food bands so that we could eat throughout the day. We made sure to get our money's worth. However, a few seagulls got in on some dive bomb action rob us! Stinkin' birds!!

Nani in the play area

watching the Shamu show. It was a little cold, that's why they have a towel wrapped around them. They didn't get wet from that far away.

Watching a cool dolphin and acrobat show!

Watching and feeding the LOUD sea lions!

The JAWS after the shark encounter.

Part of the Cir que del mer show.

This was a really cool show!

Watching the show with Auntie Des. The girls loved all the shows!

That guy is doing a handstand on the other guys head. Crazy!

Watch out for that huge sea star behind you!!

A little cousin time on the pond

Almost 2 weeks ago, we visited my sister Shannon out in Missouri. They have a great property with a pond. They had built a small, cool boat to go out in the pond in. Aleah and Nani got to ride around in the boat a few times that day. They loved every part of it...being with their cousins, wearing cool life jackets, trying to row, being in the pond...They loved it all!

Big helper

Nani saw a wipe on the table and decided to clean the table with it. She couldn't get the whole table from her chair, so she climbed on top of the table.

Beautifully clean!

The Bacon Explosion...step by step

Yes, he did it again. Matthew made another Bacon Explosion to share on the 4th.

He took pictures of each step.

I guess we forgot to take pics of it sliced and someone enjoying it.

lots of rain

The week before the 4th we had a ton of rain. It rained through 4th and still through the nest morning. This is what our back yard looked like. So we played in it!

Soon to be skirts

My work is cut out for me...ha ha!

I had to share

Since school is getting ready to start, I went through and cleaned out the girls' clothes this week to see what Aleah needed for school. I decided, since she loves skirts, to go through all my scrap fabric and make her skirts for the new school year. I made about 10 skirts on Monday and Tuesday. Some of them need a little something more, and then I'll share them. This particular skirt I thought looked a little homely, but I envisioned a whole outfit to try and help it out. Sometimes the vision doesn't turn out....but I really like how this one came together.

I made this little shrug today from and old t-shirt and her knee highs I made last winter. I think she looks stylin'!

She's such a funny poser!
