Camping: Part 2



Our campsite

 We wanted to go to a "real beach" so we found one on our drive home. It was beautiful, but we also noticed a sign at the entrance that said something about the tide being deadly. Thinking they made the sign as liability for all the idiots trying to swim too far out, we kept walking toward the water. That's when David Hasselhoff showed up. We watched him repeat his warning to those daring to put their toes in the water up and down the beach. We did, however, get to see a very cool group of harbor seals (mommies and babies).




Day at the beach

Annual Camping Trip: Summer 2011, Salt Point State Park

The girls spent 90% of their time collecting "wheat" seeds.

 

 

Awww...our sweet family, and what a view!

Picnic time

Hiking! Yes, Lily's first real hiking. She was such a trooper!

Preschool Graduation - One VERY special night!

Lily finished up her 1st year of preschool with a BIG celebration with her classmates. SO much fun!! Next year we promise to invite grandparents to join us!!

Lily Turns 4!

Another year bigger, another day full of fun with friends and family. Lily asked for a "repeat" of last year's princess party. So...here are the highlights!

2nd Haircut Ever!

Lily's hair was getting pretty long...and the weather was turning HOT, so...









Lily got a haircut from Dad's haircut lady! It didn't seem like she was taking this much off, but when it got wet, it got really wavy and shortened up even more. Perfect for the Summer!

Spring School Fun

Leprechaun hunt, where is that little green guy? And exactly how will this magnifying glass help me find him? Are leprechauns that small? Maybe she'll be a researcher like mommy :)

***

I've never seen this amount of concentration at home!

*****

Should I be making this big of a mess?

Easter Bunny (notice her and her best friend Aubo are wearing the SAME dress!

...and why, oh why, can't my mom get this silly blog to post my pics in an organized fashion????

Annual Snow Trip

Lily was a little shy with the sled this year (wait...it's been like that every year!) WE had fun sledding though! Her favorite part? Ice skating with Dad on a nearby stream. It was a beautiful sunny day and a nice drive to the snow. We warmed up afterwards with hot chocolate in the car...YUM!

Dancing queen

Lily LOVES to dance, especially in front of a mirror. This video is Lily at Gigi & Papa's shakin' her booty. (Gigi is shaking hers in the background too). I think many of her moves stem from Joe's school of professional dance (their specialty is hip hop & break dancing).
