One last pic from Sophia's swimming lessons... they wrapped up last week!
"The ways she plays!" Sophia tucks in her bath toys at the end of her bath. I wish I had photos/video of her latest bath game: the penguin is dead (run over by a car) and all the other sea critters are doctors that bring him back to life. Hmmm....
Still in a very princessy phase.
Sophia has been rapidly progressing with her horse skills! See the video post for more details... I'm a pretty proud mama :) Of course, it's in her blood! On both sides!
On the 20th Sophia and I had a "mommy/daughter" day at the annual Fargo Street Fair. I spoiled her rotten! We went back to the blow up games 3 times. I loved spending 3 hours at the fair with her and just letting her lead the way.
Huge waterslide... a much bigger, older boy in front of Sophia was too scared and had to climb back down the ladder. I was afraid Sophia would pick up on that and chicken out, but she went for it!
I let her have tons of junk :) At least this was an Italian Ice instead of icecream!
Waiting at a booth for cheese curds. I know that sounds gross to my East coast peeps, but they are sooo yummy!
A slushie...
Standing in front of the action!
After the street fair we were SO excited for baby Ava's arrival! We got to have her for a whole night!
Travis and I took the girls to the local wading pool
We all went out to eat at Johnny Carino's.
Ava loved hauling toys out of the toybox. She's such a good baby! And Sophia was GREAT with her, which makes me extra excited for our baby :)
More dress-up!
A princess photo shoot :)
This last weekend was the first weekend we've had in about a month and a half that was UNPLANNED! We took lots of naps... watched movies... hung out with the horse... went for lots of walks... went shopping... and capped it off with a Sunday night family bike ride to Tutti Frutti, about a mile down the road.
Tutti Frutti is one of those frozen yogurt places where you fill a bucket with your own yogurt flavor pick and then choose from a zillion toppings and they charge by the bucket's weight. Travis and I both got fruity yogurts and topped with strawberries, kiwis, rasperries, cherries. Sophia chose chocolate yogurt and topped it with sprinkles. :) It was yummy and fun! There is a new yogurt shop, Cherry Berry, going up 3 blocks closer to our house (and on our side of the busy street)... Sophia's already super excited for their grand opening!
Unplanned, family weekends are just a little slice of heaven! :)

Has Ava doubled in size since you last had up a photo of her? Maybe it's just that she's in a standing position to play that makes her look so much older. And is it OK to be jealous of Sophia? That mommy date looked like a ton of fun! I'm hoping to have something similar next week when I head home for Field Days :)
So much fun!!!!!! Love all the adventures. And we do love cheese curds by the way--they are a delicacy anywhere that cheese is made! Fun frozen yogurt places--that we do not have around here. Wish you could come to field days with us next week ;-) I have some friends whose girls are getting into showing horses and it brings back such memories watching them. Btw, I visited with Linda and Juna last weekend!
