Summer is Here










We have been very lucky to have mainly nice weather recently, with a few random thunderstorms last week(she was unsure of the thunder). Nice weather means lots of outside time!

The community center in our town opened a small water park Memorial Day weekend. We took Rory last weekend for the first time and again this Sunday. She loves it!!! Definitley a little fish. The kiddie pool is 1 foot deep, has 2 slides and a whale with a blow hole. She loves to sit on the whale. The first time she went down the slide she was not a fan at all and refused to go down it again, yesterday she was all about the slide. Wanting to do it over and over, taking Danny or I with her saying come on mommy/daddy do it again. Her second favorite part is definitley the fountains when you enter the pool. She sits on them, stands on the whole and trys to catch the water. Danny and my favorite part is the lazy river, after trying to figure out the best way to hold her in the tube with us Danny figured it out right before we left yesterday. When going around the lazy pool there are dump buckets and pipes with water coming out to soak you unexpectedly. When she sees them she starts yelling uh oh, oh no water. It is so funny because she sounds really concerned when shes yelling. We put her in a life jacket to see how she would do floating(not a fan) but she loves the life jacket and kept asking us to put it back on when we would take it off. By the time we leave she is so exhausted she passes out as soon as we get home and naps really well. This is now going to be a weekend staple.

Over the weekend we decided it was time to take out her pool, water table and other outside toys. We also invited over our friend Bronwyn and her son Braedyn to BBQ and play with Aurora. They had a blast together. I had to remind her a few times that we have to share our toys with our friends. Everytime Braedyn tried to play with one of her toys for the water table she would take it or say uh oh mine. After about 20 minutes she was a lot better about sharing with him. After playing with the table we blew up the pool for them, that was short lived but they laid out on their towels and as Aurora put it they were "relaxing or taking a break". Very cute. O yea she likes to mow the lawn like her daddy.

A couple little things. She has been putting her princesses to sleep in our bed and lays with them. She loves soccer balls. She has started drinking from small cups. Obsessed with the hose. Loves Max and Ruby. She can count to 10 and 3 in spanish. She knows her colors but has some problems with red and orange.
