Michelles Go Camping (1)

I have a friend at church--also named Michelle--who loves camping, so we started off the summer with a weekend at Mt. Laguna. It was quite chilly, but we were toasty in our new tent (yes, I finally bought one).

Dillon is ready to start the day.

Braiding Melinda's hair...sort of.

Beautiful Cleveland Forest.

Dillon's creativity continues to develop. Her ability to draw what she sees is pretty impressive. Quinn is still developing her style...

Didn't realize our forefathers wore so much purple!

Birthday Party Round-up: Sasha and Westley

Two of Dillon's school chums had birthday parties. Sasha had an Angry Birds gymnastic party (I guess that's a thing) and Westley had an Earth Day celebration birthday that involved beating the crap out of an Earth pinata.

First, Sasha:

Gang's all here.

With the birthday girl.

Bubble magic.

Next, Westley:

With pals Clara and Luna. There were ring pops.

A little pinata action to the tune of "What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. Another parent joked about how funny it would be if the pinata was filled with bees instead of candy. Still makes me laugh!

Waterfront Picnic Pals

Every year the girls' preschool has an annual picnic. First it was just Dillon, then Dillon and Quinn, and now just Quinn. Time flies, but these girls have fun.

We took the trolley downtown.

Waterfront Park fun.

Mermaids with Reece.

SoCal vibe on lockdown.

That Was Then / This Is Now (33)

Dillon is slowly learning to climb up trees. Hopefully she won't learn how to fall out of them.
