Another First

About a month ago I bought a baby pool for Nora for when the weather got warm. Well this past weekend it got warm, so I pulled out the pool, pumped it up, and let Nora "swim" for the first time. It was great fun! I love summertime!

Max, who didn't go swimming but I did find out is afraid of bubbles!

Ahhhh summer!

Father's Day

While we were in Mariposa, celebrating the seniors of HSM at FBCLA, we also celebrated Father's Day. This was Paul's first real Father's Day. It is always fun to watch Paul and Nora together, it warms my heart!

Playing Peek-a-Boo!

Tummy zerbers!

Nora likes to grab Paul's hair and suck on his forehead!

I love you Daddy! ~Nora

Senior Retreat

This past weekend Paul took a group of kids from the High School Ministries at our church up to Mariposa, CA to enjoy a weekend away and to celebrate the seniors who recently graduated. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
All packed up and ready to go!

Eating dinner at the Pizza Factory (best pizza ever!)

This was Nora's first visit to Pizza Factory. She loved it!

On Saturday we went into Yosemite and hiked from Glacier Point (note Half Dome in the background) all the way down to the valley floor. It was an 8.6 mile hike and all the kids conquered it like pros!

Taking a break.

Saturday night Paul and Peter planned a special evening to celebrate the seniors which included worship, a charge, senior bios, and a memorable video.

A good looking group!

California Girl

Like true Californians we love our avocados! So last week we introduced Nora to them.

Here is how it went.

Optimistic!

Processing...

Spitting it out!

Chocking on it!

Growing weary...

Have had enough!

Later in the tub, where all the world was right again!
The avocado experience ended in tears but we will try again another time!
