We Love Summer!

This is Lyza at a bouncy house in CDA full of Astro Jumps that is free for kids under 2 years old
 

 
We bought Lyza a little table and chair set and she loved to help put it together

 Lyza and I helped momma clean off the spatula after making an amazing desert

 We took Grandma and Grandpa hiking at Tubbs hill, one of the fun hikes right in CDA




 Tubbs Hill is right on the lake so as you hike you hike around the lake and get some amazing views

 Mealtime with Lyza is a blast
 She loves the splash park


 4th of July piggies!

 Sharing her chair with Pooh Bear
 Beautiful dress

 Lyza loves playing at the beach. It is awesome living so close to the water
 Cool sunglasses...Mom's are OK too
 Trying on the cowboy boots and skirt for Kevin and Amanda's wedding in September. At first she couldn't walk in the boots, but after a few minutes she wouldn't take them off

 On the 4th of July we biked the Hiawatha trail! The Hiawatha is an old railroad between Idaho and Montana with lots of tunnels and amazing scenery that is now used as a bike trail. It was a lot of fun. Beautiful views and perfect weather made for a very fun day. Of course Lyza loved being in the bike seat and wearing her helmet. She also enjoyed the tunnels, even the 1.66 mile tunnel that was pitch black, cold, and wet.




 Having some lunch







 Looking down from one of the many bridges



 What it was like riding in the dark tunnels
Lyza would not stop drinking from our hydration pouch
 The long tunnel was really wet and muddy
It was so cold in the long tunnel and so hot outside that the cool air was visible from the outside


 


 
After the bike ride we went to the lake and watched the fireworks. There were a lot of people and the city park was all set up festival style with lots of food to buy. Lyza had a lot of fun walking around and talking to people


 The lake is full with boats with people out floating and watching the fireworks
 It was a really good show. Lyza really liked it and wasn't scared at all. She kept saying "work, work" and clapping. She also started out calling the fireworks pretty flowers
 Lyza loves slides! Kim made this one in the house and it kept Lyza entertained for awhile

 We went to the beach again yesterday and Lyza loved sitting in this floating chair. We brought it to Seattle with us and tried to get her to use it in the pool but she freaked out. Yesterday she freaked out when we tried to get her out of it. She is funny
That's it for now. Hope you are enjoying your summer!
