Spring Fun

A visit to the Botanical Gardens.

 This spring has been packed with opportunities to explore, learn, and have fun. Usually by this time in the summer I (Anna) am complaining to Jason that I am already bored, but this year I get to spend it with Addison! We started our springtime fun before school was out with weekend excursions and expanded into full blown summer outings. Each day we try at least one out of the house time even if it is just to the grocery store (don't worry I didn't bore you with those pictures...although we do have some).
 

Learning to swing. At first it was a little daunting.

A relaxed evening at our favorite hamburger joint.

"Helping" ion the kitchen.

Dadda spoiled her with fun water toys.

She is smitten by grandparents.

Music and dancing seem to be significant to her well-being. Just like her Dadda.

She loves, loves, loves time with her Dadda.

And hates to be inside. More time at the Botanic Gardens

Independent? Not her! An explorer in the making.

Coronado State Monument

She isn't sure about the helmet, but loves the bikes rides.

Her favorite animal at the zoo. She never wants to leave this spot.

According to Julia Child, wearing pearls even when making cookies is important! If you look through the pictures, you will notice that in a good number of them she is wearing at least one necklace. Her favorite is the string of pearls. She would also like to be wearing a bracelet, but they won't stay on her arms.

Thanks to some ketchup and a rousing game of peekaboo with Grandpa Sunny, she had the best mealtime of her life!

Learning to color. She prefers to eat the crayons.

Playing princess?

Overnight camping trip outside of Santa Fe.

Nobody slept well, but the down was warm,.
