Sunglasses

I have been trying to get Caterpillar Girl to wear sunglasses for about 6 months. It is very bright in our area, and I think it is better for her eyes. Plus how cute is she? She finally wears them about 50% of the time. She has a red pair and a hot pink pair.

Largo Little Train

A train club in Largo offers rides on their small-sized trains for free once a month. They have an amazing track that twists through the park through tunnel past a waterfall.
It is hot waiting out in the sun.

Caterpillar Girl excitedly watches for the next train. It's finally our turn.

The train pulls into the station.

Away we go!

Fingerpainting for the First Time

Squishy and messy, fingerpaints are colorful fun!

Playset

When Caterpillar Girl was about 6 months, Ahma and I found a wooden playset at the flea market. We bought it, but it took some time to clear our jungly yard to make space for the playset. Ahpa cleared most of the yard himself. Grandad, Ahpa and Daddy built a wooden box for mulch, and finally Ahpa, Mommy, and Daddy put up the playset. It was a tedious process but Caterpillar Girl loves the results.

July

I realize it has been a long time since I posted. It has been a busy summer. After our trip to Colorado, we visited my sister in Jacksonville, had our house painted and carpets replaced with wood floors (during which we stayed at Gran and Granddad's), Daddy interviewed for a few new jobs (he chose one in the area so we are staying), Mommy sprained her foot and was in crutches... Soooo, without any more excuses, here are pictures from July:

Playing at the beach at Gran and Granddad's

Fourth of July was rainy, but we had a few breaks in the rain.

Our yummy barbecue had to be eaten indoors because of the rain.
