California

So Tavia and I decided to escape the las vegas heat and go to California last week. We got to stay at her mother in Law's beach house in Newport! We had an amazing time. We spent four days there just relaxing and taking in the sun, maybe a little too much sun. On on of the days we were there we had put the girls down for a nap and went and got in the pool. I fell asleep in the pool on the floatie and lets just say I got a little burned on one side of my legs. Bindi had her first trip to the beach. She hated the sand and refused to stand in it so I had to push her around in her little car. Then I put her shoes on her and she practically ran into the ocean. The nights felt so good because unlike Las Vegas they cool down! We had an amazing time and the girls had a blast too!

Hogel Zoo

We headed down to Utah about a week ago for a follow-up appointment with Bindi's eye doctor. While we were down there we decided to make a trip to Hogel zoo. We had a blast! I couldn't believe how big the zoo was. Bindi was really interested in all the animals. At every enclosure she would point in excitement and occasionally ask, "what's that?"

By the time we got in the car she was ready for a little snooze. But, before we left we let her get her favorite animal from the zoo. She chose the fosa.

Happy 4th of July!

Fourth of July was so much fun! We all got together at my parents house for food, fun, and fireworks. My dad even rented misters so that we wouldn't die of heat stroke! Bindi was quite fascinated with the fireworks I thought she would be scared of them, but boy was I wrong. My dad also set up the pool in the driveway so the girls could have a swim to cool off, which came in handy. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
