Lake Carey - July 2012






We spent a week vacation at Lake Carey and took lots of good pics.  Hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Kai loved the lake and was a total water bug the whole time.  He was going nuts jumping off the dock!







 Enjoying a popsicle together
 Leila loves olives.  And just like her mommy used to do when she was a kid, she puts them on all her fingers and then eats them off
 We went to a little zoo that was close to the lake. And the kids got to feed a giraffe a carrot
 Here we are playing paleontologist and digging up dinosaurs
 Kai having a conversation with Dilophosaurus
 Kai and cousin Luke
 "Look mommy, I'm a baby dinosaur."
 So comfortable

 Leila enjoying time with cousin luke
  
 Kai and Daddy camped out one night and slept in the tent
 And made "funny faces" pictures
  
 

 And Kai went fishing all on his own and caught lots of fish! He even kissed the first one he caught because Daddy told him it was tradition!  But afterwards in the bath he asked me to wash off his lips!

Popsicle time again!
 Yummy
 "Look what I got!"

June 2012: Pool Party, Ridley Creek and the Beach!

 Summer 2012 has begun and the kids have been having fun at the beach, at the pool and spending time with mommy and daddy. 

Here are some pictures of us at Ridley Creek State Park enjoying the summer weather



 This was Memorial Day at the beach.  Here Kai is doing some dinosaur research on the Ipad
And Leila catches up on some shut eye in her big girl bed.
 "Good morning baby Cam!"  The kids love being around their cousin baby Cam!
 Kai and Pa doing some crabbing off the dock.





And they did a great job, a whole bucket full.  Kai loved catching them, but we weren't sure what he would want to do with them afterwards.  He said, "Let's eat 'em!"  Daddy had no problem with that order!
 Nap time = Mommy and Daddy time
 Hanging at the pool
 Movie star in the making.  Believe me, she's dramatic enough!
 Kai's mommy showed how amazing, and multi-talented she is and made Kai this dinosaur scene cake for his 4th Birthday party.  Wow, 4 years old already!
 "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
 Check Leila out trying to steal some icing on the side
 "Yummy icing!"


 "Leila, you can use a fork now, honey, that's your piece of cake."
 Kai had all his friends over to the pool for a pool party for his birthday and they had a great time of course.  Here is Kai playing with one of the party favors, dino chompers!


 "Roar!"
 The kids enjoying some pool time
 Leila doing a little pool dancing!

 Some more pics of Ridley Creek
 Kai and Leila playing dinosaur land, probably their favorite game.  Kai is OBSESSED with dinosaurs at this time, so here he is spotting a Megalasaur, Carnataurus or some other obscure dinosaur that he loves.  He's incredible, and can pronounce the names like a little paleontologist!
"Bye-bye everyone!"
