North Carolina Vacation

SO...I had intended on captioning every picture but that is jut not going to happen. I will sum up our trip to North Carolina by saying that we had a super great time. We made a ton of memories, we did things that are not even possible in Florida and it was great to let Nya experience a whole different world. She has been to plenty of other states but this was one of the first times that she got to take it all in on her terms and at her own pace. You will see pictures of a railroad "them park" that we went to, a day at Wildcat lake, the kids exploring an awesome natural creek, our hike up to Linville Falls and some other adventurous outing that we will always remember! Thank you Erika and Karl for inviting US to "The Froling Family Vaca"!

Nya and Olivia

Nya had a great time this weekend with her cousin Olivia. Nya of course had fun swimming with her favorite person...MOM!

Janet's visit...

I think Iylah really likes dogs.

Swimming again

Nya Bliss and her buddies would swim all day, every day if we would let them. Thank goodness for Suz and her awesome pool party casa!

Feed ME!!!

I cannot figure out why Iylah is not as big as a house. She eats ALL day long! She is really into all her finger foods these days. We are giving her lots of bananas, avocados, strawberries, eggs, fish, rice, sweet potato (cubed), grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, cheese sticks, steamed broccoli, peas, edamame, blueberries, tomatoes. As you see, she usually needs to be rinsed off in the sink after every meal.

Sea World...

Splash pad FUN! The girls cooling off at the splash pad after watching the Shamu show.

Julia and Sola!

Julia and Sola have arrived!!! They came to visit for a few days before Julia starts back to school. Sola is still a little prodigy baby and Iylah is still slowly trying to catch up to her younger best friend. Iylah is still crawling like a damn P.O.W. avoiding gun fire while Sola is getting down from the couch by herself and walking around the furniture (while holding on, thank goodness)! Oh yeah, they really liked the dog too (well especially Iylah)!!!

Pool Party at Casa de Sebastian!!!

After the picnic in the park we went over to Suzie's for a "Summer is HERE" pool party.

School's OUT!

Picnic in the PARK after school. This was a little tradition we had with Nya's class.
