Lagoon

We had so much fun at Lagoon last month! It was the place Marcos' work decided to have their summer party at! My mom works there also so she came along with us and her hubby met us there later in the day.

While the others were swimming, my mom and I took Briel on the Merry Go Round. She was fine until it started going! Then, her famous crying began!
Briel was such a trooper! She loved checking everyone out. People watching was the ride of her choice!

Marcos Took Isabel and Zaquel to Lagoona Beach to swim first. Briel wouldn't even get out of her stroller. I think there was too many people for her.

Briel really enjoyed her cookie!


When Isabel and I were on the Paratrooper, we were stuck in the air as they changed passengers and Isabel noticed our shadow. Luckily, I had my camera and I took a picture of it! We are waving in the picture! I thought it turned out pretty cool!

We actually got Marcos to go on one ride, the Ferris Wheel. He does not like amusement parks. He especially hates heights so we were extremely lucky he indulged us on this one! Briel, on the other hand, loved it!










I think my favorite part of the day is when we were getting loaded up to head out for Lagoon when my mom asked Zaquel what his shirt said. He replied, "Do not grow boobs or else!" This boy! His shirt actually said, "You are special, be yourself."

What a great way to spend a Summer day!

Summer so far...

We are just enjoying our Summer so much! We hope you are too! Only about a month left! Soak it up while you can!:)





Enjoying some homemade ice cream sandwiches on the whirly copter!:)





My new favorite Summer snack! Grilled pepper and pineapple kabobs! Delish!

We made some butterfly feeders and here is Isabel stirring up the nectar. Go here for the instructions. Really, a fun idea and they actually attract bees as well as butterflies...go figure! :)






Briel is the keeper of the hose!




Every morning (before it gets too hot), we go for a bike ride! Well, the kids do and I push Briel in a stroller. It doesn't last too long, but it gives me some exercise and the kids love it! Zaquel had training wheels on his bike. Then one day in the Spring, he said, "Take these off!" I was preparing myself to teach another child how to ride a two wheeler when I came outside and Zaquel was riding it on his own with no instructions! How amazed both Marcos and I were! That kid is amazing if I do say so myself! It has been smooth sailing ever since! He is only 4...Way to go Zaquel!





I hope your Summer is going as well as ours!
