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

 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!
