Seaside August 2009

We are lucky to have the ocean right here close to us, we dont take advantage of it nearly as much as we should.... We always have a great time when we go there. We decided to go to Seaside this time, and for the first time we decided to rent one of those bike bus things... It was way hard to pedal with all that weight on it, but I am sure it was a memory that the kids will never forget. We also got about 10 pounds of salt water taffy I think. We had a great time.


Lindsay loved playing with Ashlynn.

She has also has got to the point where she thinks it is fun to run away from Mom and Dad.

And Last but not least ( I am fianlly caught up with all my pictures and posts) I told my Mom I would take some pictures of my little water baby... Our pool opened last weekend and Lindsay has gone swimming a few times already. She loves it.

Isnt that COZY?

We having been unsuccesfully trying to get Lindsay to fall asleep on her own (which means her screaming a horrifying scream) the other day when she finally quieted down this is what I found when I checked on her.... :(
Of course I helped her lay down in a more comfortable way (after I took some pictures)

Zoo (again)

Rick showing Lindsay the elephants.
He was showing off

Lindsay having a nice visit with a really old orangutan...

This sun bear looked so sute and cozy I had to take a picture.

Who ME???
This is Lindsay favorite thing to do... Well one of her favorite things anyways.... She loves getting into my purse and wallet. She emptys the whole thing out. If she happens to find any gum in it she makes sure she chews it all to smitherings.... Needless to say "I" go through about 2 packs of gum week, out of the 2 packs I think that I get about 2 pieces (if I am lucky)

My first baby that LOVES pickels... (I think they feel good on her gums)

A few weeks ago they did this contest at the outdoor mall near where we live. The contest was "dads" dress up like Taylor Swift and they had too get up on stage and sing one of her songs... It was hilarious!!! I was so suprised at how many of them shaved not only their legs but their arm pits and chests too... Bella really enjoyed watching it too. The winner got a meet and greet with Taylor Swift for him and his daughter, and backstage passes, amoung many other prizes....
