Vacation!

Since my last post, we have been quite busy. We ended off the month of June by heading to Tampa, Florida for a week with my family. After a week there, we headed north to Navarre Beach to meet up with the Hollinden's for a week at the beach. Lydia did pretty well with all the traveling, but by the end of it, she was ready to be home! She loved our pool in Tampa that was called "Loch Ness" (it was shaped like the Loch Ness Monster!). It had a couple of sand pits and an area with water sprinklers and waterfalls. In Navarre, she decided the sand was alright at first,but became very frustrated whenever it would stick to her hands or legs. We learned first hand that vacationing with a toddler is a lot more complicated than when it was just the two of us!

While we were away we experienced some "drama" as a result of a bad oil change, but we just found out this week that the company is going to pay to repair my car! Needless to say this has been a big worry for the past couple of weeks.

For now we are winding down our summer routines and looking ahead to the beginning of school in a couple of weeks. We are hoping Lydia has not forgotten what daycare is all about!

Below are some pictures from the past couple of weeks!
