The second part of summer was FULL & FUN!
Here is a snapshot of what we were up to!
Hummingbirds love to drink at our feeder and we love watching them!
Kingdom Rock Summerfest (aka VBS)!!
Keira was a little apprehensive on the first day (since it was drop-off and I wasn't volunteering this year), but she adapted well and ended up having a great time!
Her favorite parts of the day were the beginning and ending when the group came together for worship in the sanctuary. She LOVED being able to go up on stage to sing & do the motions.
Really getting into it!
Happy!
Hanging out with all her friends!
Parachutes are always fun!
Time to worship!
Noah having more fun capturing the hummingbirds!
We got to go watch our friend, Marni, at a local production of Cinderella, the musical version.
I think this was Keira's first time seeing live theater!
There's Marni!
Cinderella & her prince
The glass slipper doesn't fit Marni!
Being a groupie after the show
Talking things over with Cinderella
So sweet!
Two little Cinderellas!
Hiking around San Diego is always on the agenda these days!
This time it was a hike to the top of Black Mountain!
Made it to the top!
Nice view
My cousin, Ashley (with some help from my Aunt Sue), sewed this BEAUTIFUL quilt for Corinne and made the cute matching shirts.
Soooooo special and fun!
Of course, we had to do a photo shoot!
Sweet sisters!
Look at that pose!
Keira did another round of swim lessons to finish out the summer!
This time, no one else signed up for lessons at this time-slot, she she basically had a private lesson for 2 weeks--yeah!
Also, this was the first time she did lessons in the BIG pool, so that was exciting!
Learning to use the kickboard to go all the way across the pool!
Learning how to dive
Learning the backstroke
The summer dance class continued on as well & the girls did a "mini performance" for the parents.
Prima ballerina
Keira & Corinne got some mail from my cousin, Devon.
Thanks, Devon, for all the goodies!
Just ridin' around on her new scooter
Corinne getting acquainted with the Bumbo.
Umm, thanks Big Sis, but that's a few too many toys!
Say what?
Playtime!
Keira was invited to Nousy's pool to swim!
She was beyond excited!!
Ready, set, JUMP!
We discovered the "Up, up, up!" game with Corinne and it was the first time she did really big smiles like this. She even did some beginning laughs too.
I love her big toothless grin!
Can you find a baby in this picture?
Mesmerized.
At the end of August we got a special treat when Aunt Laura moved down to San Diego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love spending time with her and we get to see her about 1-2x per week for a meal and/or hanging out! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First matchy-match outfits!!
Definitely not the last!
Pretty girls in purple!
During her first week at work, we made a surprise visit to Laura's school!
Are you sure this is work??
Looks like it's all fun and games to me!!
Yep, it sure is fun when your Aunt is a Speech-Language Pathologist at an elementary school!
Keira really wanted to take a picture of us at Laura's desk.
Cute!
Keira loves being a Big Sister!
Since Corinne has become a lot more aware of toys, Keira has wanted to play with her and help her engage with toys. It is so cute!!
The doctor, hard at work on her puppy patient, while Little Sis is trying to figure out what playing is all about. :)
Fun times in the Wardrip Household!
Bring on Fall!
