Sunday Evening at Park

Weather has been great this summer. It feels like fall in the morning and evening. We have done a lot of outdoor activities.  Parks are definitely the favoriate place. Luckily we also came across a free summer concert in the park on Sunday evening.

Self Portraits

Mom and Aiden discovered a cool application on mom's new phone. We can take a picture first and then make it look like pencil scatch. Then add on colors and pictures turned out to be quite neat.

Zoo Time

Weather cooled down a little after much needed rain. We went to zoo for some family time.  The kids got to see some animals really close. Aiden spent quite a bit time watching penguins swim against the current. Mia had fun riding the train.

Sunday Fun at Museum

Weather is too hot to play outside so we went to childen's museum to have fun. A new show based on 3D movie Avatar replaced hot wheel show. Both kiddos liked to play bouncy balls and light up lego-like toy.

"Play" Together

Mia loves slide but she is very cautious type. She slides down sooo slow that sometimes it needs a little help from Aiden.

Swing, Swing

Mia loves swing and she has shown the interest in big kid swing. Tonight at park, Mia got on big kid swing and did very well. She also got some push from Aiden.

Big Girl!

Hold on tight

Spider Web Climbing

Aiden is quite a climber. Last year he was only able to climb to the first step of the spider web but this year he is able to climb almost all the way to the top of the web.

Water Play

Today is a muggy day. After dinner we headed to West Park and cool off. As usual Aiden dived into the water without any warm up and Mia had to get her feet wet first before she got herself completely wet.

Mommy, wait for me!!!
