Summer so far

A couple weeks ago we went to Como Zoo with my friend Julie and her kids. We picked a beautiful day.
Lila, Elsa, Violet, and Henry.


Last week we went to Big Marine Park Reserve in Scandia with: Julie, Henry, Violet, Sheli, Maddy, Allie, Angie, Sheri, and Ashley. They have a great beach and play area.


Elsa and Lila at our new favorite sun spot: Coon Lake Beach in East Bethel.


A shot of Lila with her hands full, and clearly standing on her own.


Happy Father's Day! We're lucky to be surrounded by great dads all around.


Here are the cupcakes I made for the occasion. Thanks to Trinity for posting the link to Bakerella's site! Not too bad for a first try.


It's been really hot, so we've been hanging out in the kiddie pool a lot. Elsa loves to play pretend and make up stories. She's very literary. The other day Tim gave her some watermelon and she was so happy, she said,"...and little Elsa smiled!"
Lila is talking more and more, and can repeat almost anything we say. The lastest words: shoe, Lila, duck, chicken (kee kee), eat. Ahh, I love one-year-olds. Her birthday is July 2! Stay tuned for the next post, which will be jam packed with party photos and Lila fun facts. She's getting baptized this Sunday and having a birthday party, too.
