Ah, Summer

We've been enjoying summer quite a bit around our house.  Our neighborhood is great for taking walks in so we've been going on family walks (including Coco) and the girls and I have gone on a few walks just the three of us during the week.  On the 4th of July, we made a trip over to a playground near our house where we can't take Coco (which is why we don't go more often) and had fun playing.  We've also been taking drives as a family since I'm not far enough out from my C-section to bike and Evelyn's not big enough to ride in a bike trailer yet (though we did great a great bike trailer/jogging stroller last weekend that we're excited to use in a few months).  Here are some photos of us enjoying summer.

Her first taco from Taco Bell...she wasn't impressed.

When you're Elise's age, you don't realize that park benches aren't actually toys.

i'm sure you've talked about where you live before but i can't recall... so i must ask.. where on EARTH do you guys live that you can wear pants, long sleeve shirts, and wear a baby wrap/sling thing that's sooo tight to your body in the middle of SUMMER?! lol very curious... because you must have extremely mild weather! *Megan from WI*

Megan, we live in Portland, Oregon. Although it's been in the 90s this past week, I think it was in the 70s on the 4th. And our heat, though more humid than the Seattle area where I grew up, isn't as hot of heat as many places.

Wow, that's shocking that you've had 70s weather! its been only about 82-85 here lately but for at least a week its sooooo humid that we've had our air on non stop and my parents dont usually run the air THAT often! but thanks for sharing and answering my question :) *Megan from WI*
