July was a fun month for our family. We had lots of time with family and friends, celebrated K's birthday, and enjoyed a few mini-vacations (a few while Daddy worked hard away from home) including going to Turkey Run State Park in Indiana. A few highlights of the month:
Going down the roller slide in St. Charles, MO.
This was about the only thing she did at this park, over and over and over...
At the ballpark with friends.
We got there late (2 toddlers deciding to nap late and
then eat slow, oi!) but everyone had a great time.
I had to put my purse behind K in the seat because she didn't
weigh enough to keep it unfolded unless she sat on the edge.
At the St. Louis Zoo riding the carousel with Grandma & Grandpa.
She still fears riding the animals (I still haven't figured that one out, though I think it's just her fear of heights).
Playing in a gigantic sandbox at Grandma & Grandpa's church.
She was kind of shocked I allowed her to take her shoes off (our sandy local parks
are kind of...yucky, and we've only been to a beach once before she can remember).
Shortly after this she had each of us chase her up and down the sidewalk at least 10 times.
At the SI Science Center, practicing to be like Daddy someday.
This kid LOVES corn! I was kind of surprised when she requested I not cut it off the cob,
but let her eat it like I was. She in fact ate this entire cob with no help at all!
Despite her fear of heights, she is adamant that she must climb lately.
I was proud of her this day she learned how to alternate her feet while climbing this "ladder."
At the Spyglass, doing a little ballerina pose at the window.
Being luggage with cousin M. She loved being in the hotel with the cousins,
and often begged me to see if any of them were out in the lobby.
A sweet moment with Daddy while putting her new mower away for the day.
The tiger lilies were magnificent this year!
