An Afternoon at the Park

A few weeks ago, I was leaving work and noticed it was just a gorgeous day. The birds were chirping and it was nice and cool with a breeze, but not too cold. It was just right for an afternoon at the park! I went to get Avery and we headed off to play for a little while. She had a great time and I took a few too many pictures!

She just didn't get the fact that you can't walk up the slide!

She kept trying to pick up this metal bar, I had to remind her we weren't at the gym. The park means strictly no work, ALL play!

She loved peeking at me!

She would squeal every time she slid down the slide. I was holding her all the way down so I could never get a picture of her smiling so big.

Most of the pictures looked like this, she was in such a hurry to do everything!

She wasn't too thrilled with the swings, but was interested in the kids swinging next to her.

This was when we got to the park, she was ready to go play! No pictures of us leaving because ms. lil' princess threw a big fit and did NOT want to leave.

Da-da's Birthday, Father's Day and Molars!

Da-da's Birthday happened to be on a Saturday. It was also June 20th, the day before Father's Day. Of course, the only thing he wanted to do was play 18 holes of golf. He, Uncle Josh and Paps (Avery's great grandpa) hit the golf course bright and early. Nonna, Avery and I caught up with them and had a fun time playing at a nearby park. We also found da-da on the golf course and took a quick ride in the golf cart. I even stayed behind to be his personal driver and caddy (lol) for the last 9 holes. Nonna took Avery home for a nap. Afterwards Nonna grilled, per Charlie's request and we had a delicious cake and he opened presents. Fun stuff!

Father's Day wasn't as fun as Saturday. Avery ran a pretty high fever most of the day and then threw up (for the first time ever). Later, I figured out she is teething - and its molars! I have heard horror stories and although Sunday and Monday were pretty rough, so far it's been smooth sailing. Actually for the first time in a verrrry lonnnng time Avery has slept in her crib, ALL.NIGHT.LONG, for 4 nights this week! I have no idea what caused this phenomenon, but I am definitely telling her how proud her mommy and daddy are that she is being such a big girl!

Delicious! Italian Cream Cake, with Cream Cheese Icing and Carmel w/ Pecans Filling...YUM!

Yes, Avery brought her clubs too!

Thinking about taking a bite out of that rock...
