The OC Fair

One of our summer rituals is a trip to the OC Fair - the home of deep fried butter.

Our first stop was Centennial Farm to see all the animals.

Then it was time to stuff ourselves with junk food.

One thing that made things a bit different this year is that Ava is now tall enough to stand in most of the wooden cutouts on her own, and we took full advantage.

Summer Fun

Summer is in full swing here in Southern California and despite the up and down weather, we've been having a lot of fun doing new (and old) activities including...

A visit to Old Towne Orange...

Fourth of July in San Diego with Auntie Hannah & Uncle Rob, and Doug, Sucheta & their very friendly dogs...

Crystal Cove with Grammy and Poppy...

Celebrating Mommy's birthday with ice cream cupcakes...

Playing with Daddy's remote-controlled car...

And continuing with swimming lessons.

All-Star Mickeys

With the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Anaheim, All-Star Mickeys have popped up all over town. While Ava didn't get to see the Dodger one (at the Music Center in Los Angeles), she did get to visit the Mickeys in Irvine honoring the Mets, Rockies, and Diamondbacks.
