Continuing on with summer fun

Life must go on, even though the grandparents are no longer here.

So we decided to give this a try.

She's doing great and making awesome progress. (Our trashcans are thrilled to receive less from her.)  I think because she's younger it won't be a 24-hour change like with Nathanael, but every step forward is a blessing to our noses, hands, and budget.

We FINALLY pulled out our bike seat and have taken a few family bike rides!

Little one has been sporting pigtails often in this heat, which she's still not so sure about.

And we've made it to the pool a few times as well,

including Nathanael's first experience on a trampoline!!!

I think this brief break lasted about 20 seconds.

Outdoor fun with the grandparents

Oh the memories we made together...
Here are my favorites from our outings outdoors.
Heading off to school (and grocery shopping)

"Home park"

Off to the zoo

Our beloved Kurpark Oberlaa

Stopping for ice cream

I'm not sure I can do this, Mom.  But don't you dare touch it.

Prater

Bohemian Prater - it's so cool to have these hands to hold!

Nathanael could hardly wait to drive the boat with Grandpa!

We were both feeling a little bit sick after this crazy fast merry-go-round ride!

Ending the outing with a special dinner out

Continuing with the Summer Visit - indoors

It was crazy hot here while my parents visited.  So some days were spent escaping the heat indoors!

Morning buddies

Cuddling

Hard at work

Reading (or guessing what it says)

Waiting to enter the children's museum

Exploring the submarine

Crossing the plank

Steering the boat

Keeping up the log book

Ah!  We found a sea monster!
