Inniswoods Park

We are going to do a photo shoot for the girls 3 & 5 year pics with a photographer in a few weeks and we wanted check out this location. The girls had a wonderful time and we were hooked! What a beautiful park we have right here in Westerville! Here's a few pictures Mike snapped with his iPhone.

4th of July festivities

Kangaroo Ears

Dinosaur Exhibit

Butterfly Exhibit

Sorry, I'm late getting these up. We went to our annual trip to the Cleveland Zoo on July 3 and the girls had a great time as usual. They decided for their souveneirs they wanted wolf and elephant hats.

Then, on the 4th Ava was in her first parade with her dance company. She had a great time waving to her adoring fans (including some preschool friends) and passing out candy to the kids. Sophia had a great time watching the parade with daddy and mommy got a lot of exercise walking behind the float with Ava for 2.5 miles! Yikes! I let Sophie sit on the float for the last 5 minutes of the parade.

Dublin Splash Park

The girls joined their friends, Caroline and Charlotte at the Bellantrae Splash Park today and had a fantastic time. Here are a few pics for you. Sophie LOVED the giant statue bunnies!

Father's Day/Creekside Jazz Festival

We had a very busy weekend. We went to Gahanna Creekside Festival twice (one with Ava's friend, Garrett and his family) and once with MaMa and TaTa for Father's Day. The girls had a great time and Sophie cried on the way home both times that she had to leave the "Festibal" She just kept saying, "I had so much fun at the Festibal, mom and dad!" The girls fed ducks, went on rides, played games, rode horses, etc. They made daddy a card and gave him "infinity" amount of hugs and kisses (according to Ava). Uncle Chris even volunteered to ride the Dumbo the Elephant ride with Sophie when Ava backed out. What a great uncle!

Ava also wrapped up her KinderZoo classes with her good friends Caroline and Leah. Sophie enjoyed it because that meant she got a lot of extra time at the zoo with just mommy or daddy! Ava learned a lot and wants to go back again!
