One Hot Day...

On a hot day in Florida, what do you do? Go to Sea World of course! This was Lauren's 2nd trip to Sea World. It was extremely hot out. The temperature gauge read 113 degrees! That was a sun burn waiting to happen. She enjoyed hanging out with (my former 2nd grade student) Nicholas, his baby brother Ashe and (my co-worker) Mrs. Herod. Thanks for the roller coaster ride Nick!

Look at my new suit!

Lauren loves her new Ariel bathing suit. More excuses for her to ask for "pool, pool". We finally had a clear afternoon to use it. Go away rain!

Thanks!

Thanks Bubbie for the nap mat. As you can see, she really is enjoying it!

Chuck E. Cheese

Lauren had a great time playing at Chuck E. Cheese for the first time.

I love that they have a toddler section!

Movie Night

"Mooovie" as Lauren calls it. Lauren loves movie night! Right now, her absolute favorite movie is "The Little Mermaid". She tries to be very convincing and asks us in many different ways to watch this movie. "Under the Sea, Please" or she'll just say "Mermaid?" I think it is wonderful movie, I just don't know how many times I can actually watch it.

Yum.......

Yum, my first taste of a lollipop!

Happy July 4th!

Sorry, didn't take any pictures that night! Too much going on. A bunch of us walked up our street towards the Red, Hot and Boom Fireworks. Lauren loved them! She also wore an adorable dress that was too big for her last year, but fit her perfectly this year. I wish I took a picture!!!!!

My First Trip to the Beach

Lauren is ready for her first trip to the beach!
Lauren was very afraid of the waves. She made Mommy and Daddy hold her by the ocean. While we stood there looking out at the sea we saw a group of dolphins not too far off from the shore. It was amazing! We didn't attempt to swim closer to them, just in case they weren't really dolphins. (Jaws?)

Lauren ended up getting a better tan than her parents.

Lauren didn't really like getting dirty. She did not want to sit in the sticky sand. If you notice she is squatting to touch the sand, not sitting.

As you can see, Lauren was exhausted from this trip. It took her less than 1 minute to fall asleep in the car. zzzzzzz.............
