Watermelon Wagon

Watermelon and Wagons! Two of our favorite things that start with "W"!
A couple of days ago I bought a watermelon at the grocery store. They only had seeded watermelons, so we took this one outside!
The girls loved to spit the seeds. Mason isn't a fruit eater, so he had a Popsicle.

I let everybody run around and play. Audrey wanted a ride, so I was her chauffeur around the yard. I got some super cute pictures of her with the watermelon while we explored.

Mason did his own exploring in his playhouse. He likes to climb up there are throw things at the woods.

They are really having a ton of fun this summer! Who knows what we'll get into next?

Sun, Slides, Friends, and FUN!

It was a beautiful day today!
Just happened to look up when the sun went behind a cloud and shot this breathtaking picture!

We got out the slip and slide, the pool and a handful of toys for an afternoon of fun!
We called Christine and Harrison to come over a join us.

Audrey and Harrison splashed and ran.

There was even some sharing!
Then, we had a Popsicle to cool off right before it rained!
All in all it was a great afternoon!

Baby Creepy Crawly Jumpy Things

Check out the baby frog and lizard we found today. The hand model is compliments of Gracie! She likes to hold the nasty little things!

Washington Oaks State Gardens Park

Today we ventured out to a new place! Washington Oaks State Gardens Park.
It is on two sides of the road...
The first side has beautiful gardens.....and swarms of mosquitoes big enough to carry away a small child!
The second has a gorgeous coquina beach.


We attempted to view the gardens.
I really wanted to try, but after visibly seeing at least 20 mosquitoes swarming 1 child when we stopped to look at some fish we decided to run for the car.

So, the beach it was.
It has been extremely hot here lately, but the breeze at the beach was wonderful.

There were a ton of sea turtle nests!

So, we are tying in a lesson on sea turtles, conservation, and coquina rocks.

(multitasking!)

The kids really enjoyed the coquina rocks, and just walking on the beach!

We will go back to check out the gardens more when we are covered in bug spray!

Enjoys the rest of the photos it the slide show!

Just gross!

As some of you are aware....

I HATE FROGS!

I have an issue with frogs.

If they are outside minding their own business I am fine.
When they come into my territory I have a problem!

Since we have lived in the house we had these wonderful Tree/Rain frogs that decided they like my bathroom.
They found there way down the toilet vent on the roof and into my bathroom.
Just to type it gives me the willies!

So, I went to lowes and bought the wonderful contraption seen here

Yes, that is a frog!
A disgusting creature that tried to get into my bathroom!

This time he didn't make it.

I wouldn't have noticed him had I not been outside coming back from my neighbors house.

I just hope this deters any of his friends from trying the same thing!

Just Beachy!

We live only 10 minutes from the beach!
This is the first time we have been since Audrey was born.
That is pathetic!
We had such a great time!

We WILL definitely be going a lot more often!

We are going to have to let David's sunburn get better before we go back!
Check out the rest of our photos in the slideshow!
There are some really good ones!

Self tanner gone wrong!

I don't know what exactly my almost 17 month old was thinking.
I put her bowl of spaghetti on her tray,
gave her her fork,
turned around, and
this is what I found!

I have no explanation!

Outside with Daddy!

Here are a ton of pictures of our outside playday with daddy!

They got into all kinds of stuff!

Never too tired to smile!

Well, after an emotionally exhausting day, I layed out in the recliner.
I was done.
So ready just to hand the kids to David and go hide for the rest of the afternoon.
Audrey climbed up in my lap to cuddle.
The little kid whose screams all day long had wore on my nerves, wanted to cuddle.
She is such a sweetie!
If only she would stop yelling!
Daddy took over camera duties and got some cute shots of Audrey and Me.
I hope tomorrow is a "quieter" day!
