Ryan had a work trip to Southern California. Who knows if work was actually done though, because all I saw were pictures of him at baseball games with Craig and riding huge bikes and playing on the beach with co-workers. ;)
We started our very first ever garden. Ryan took off with the girls to home depot one morning, came home with some seeds and soil, and planted! We did a bunch of tomatoes, yellow and green zucchini, green beans, snap peas, and I can't remember what else.
Here it is a week or two later... it grew fast and ended up overtaking a way bigger chunk of our yard than we originally planned.
Not sure what this airplane picture is from, but I think Ryan took it while flying over our house. Yep, that's it. This is the view of where we live from way up high! I love it.
Getting even bigger!
These two girls still love to help me vacuum. It is getting better and better because Lucy is slowly but surely able to use the big vacuum and Claire is perfectly content to help with the little play vacuum!
Ryan surprised me with a selfie stick for my New York trip that I never ended up going on. But we certainly have fun with it!
Yet another zoo trip. Even though it only costs $1 to ride the train (and Claire is free), it's still a special occasion to get to ride it. This time I think we were just rewarding ourselves for making it a long time with Ryan being out of town. Sometimes you just have to switch things up and have some extra fun when things get monotonous.
Lucy and Claire love to hide under the slide. It is their go-to hiding spot every single time. It's getting harder and harder for them to both fit under it, but they squeeze until it works!
As soon as the nice weather kicked in, we ended up eating breakfast outside almost every morning. The fresh air early in the morning felt amazing and put us all in a good mood!
Another zoo trip (we certainly get good use out of our zoo pass!). This was another good day because we got to see the big lion up close and personal, and we got to feed the giraffes! Much to my surprise, Lucy even fed them all on her own without being too scared.
We also got on a little kick for a while of having popcorn and fruit smoothies while watching a movie. The girls would beg for "movie nights."
Another nice park day! Claire decided to just plop down in the grass as we were leaving and smell the dandelions! This was one of those moments that made me realize how fun and new anything and everything is to these cute little toddlers. They just love exploring new things in this world! I don't blame them! Wish I did it more often.
Ryan started training for triathlons and for a while, the girls and I would all join. Ryan pushed them in the jogging stroller while I rode along on his bike. Pretty soon he needed the bike though and I certainly wasn't going to be keeping up while running with a jogging stroller. So I started T25 again.
We went on a date and Lucy wouldn't let us leave without taking a picture. She said it was necessary. Can't argue with that since we don't get pictures of just the two of us very often!
