My First Bikini


 Summer has finally arrived in the north and we are taking full advantage and doing all things outside.  As you can tell, she's having a ball.  I love that she still loves to play in her kiddie pool.

 I just knew Liliah's first bikini should be yellow.  It's a great color for her and well, she is itsie bitsie teenie weeny


This is her new pose when I say smile!


 We introduced her to the fun of water guns and balloons.

And . . . .the ho-pity horse


We had one of those perfect summer weekends. The weather cooperated, as we headed to the fireman's pancake breakfast at firehouse.  This is in conjunction with Aqua-fest that is held in our town every July.   We took Liliah to have her first experience on their kiddie rides. We went back in the evening for some good food and more rides at night.  It's good to just take some time off and spend time together with no plans.


Getting ready to ride the flying dragon
You can see here that she loved it.  She rode it twice.  I think we have a roller coaster girl on our hands.
