A Happy Birthday in Carlsbad

I got to celebrate my Birthday with my Family and one of our favorite things to do together is EAT. Here's my Birthday dinner at the park and then some!

We went to Juanita's, which is the kind of Mexican food no where to be found in Washington. Ahhhh, it was sooo good. It was kind of like a Filibartos, something like that. By the look on my face I think you can tell how yummy it was.!

After dinner we played!!!!

This was an awesome park!

We came back to camp for a little bit of cake! My dad cooked one of them in a dutch oven. Yea, he's a pro!!

What a wonderful day!

Discovery Park

Trying out the new backpack...again! We met up on a bright and beautiful Saturday morning with Sarah and Geoff Bean to hike around Discovery Park!

The happy family!Geoff showing Ava a treasure he found on the beach! There were so many fun sea creatures! Geoff is really good at finding the fun stuff!

If you can't tell Sarah and Ava are standing in front of the Lighthouse. You can't tell, yea, neither could we?

Smiley pair of beach bums!

Heading out!

Thanks for the super fun morning Sarah and Geoff!

St Edwards State Park

We decided to slip in a hike before Kensie had to go to work! We had a bLaSt! No it is not a licorice gummy worm! It's a big black SLUG. They are new to Kensie and I, being from AZ, so of course we have to take a pic!

We named this one Richard!

Say CHEESE!!!

She stayed awake all the way to the lake and a little bit back!

and then...

...she was out!

A Happy Mother's day!

Because of those big blue eyes I officially got to celebrate Mother's Day this year!

The leaking nose was just a bonus! (I think there are teeth in our near future. Yipeeee)

Although I was still recovering from food poison symptoms from the previous day it was a fun FIRST! It helped that the weather was perfect and we got to enjoy some yummy food with the wonderful Bean family!

Cameron and Ava did a little scheming and got me this way fun gift! With the look on Ava's face she seems a little unsure!

Tulip Town

It's tulip season in WA so we packed up and went to Mount Vernon!The tulips are not the only thing blooming. I love all the PINK trees around WA this time of the year!

Look at her cute little chubby fingers! I think that was the only tulip the whole day that she got to touch. You don't want to know what it looked like when she was done touching it. Those chubby fingers are strong and very grippy!

All the different types!

My Fav!

It's actually a tulip, how pretty is that!

Pretty girls with the tulip fields!

It sound a little odd but this is the first time Ava's feet have ever been in dirt!

She was not sure what to think of it!

Notice the leaf in her hand! She was so fast to stuff it in her mouth. There was no allergic reaction to tulip, so that's good!

Both above and below pictures were a little tough to take. It was fun though!

Yes, there are black tulips!

At this point in the day she was done with the dirt!

What a fun day with Kensie, Ava and the TULIPS!
