Back into the swing of things....

Ava missed her friends

and I think they missed her too



They apparently needed some privacy?

Daddy thought maybe Ava needed to be re-introduced to her tent...

and she did seem to enjoy it for that one night, and then a few nights later after she had not paid any attention to it and we were trying to fold it back up to put it away.

Ava enjoys getting in her rays

Oh, also another odd thing, since we've been home, Ava will not play on the slide anymore, but she is loving the swing, which used to never entertain her for more than a minute.....

...she'd let us swing her until she falls asleep! This has definitely made playdates easier for me, so I am not too concerned.

This is Daddy's new favorite biking spot destination with Ava. Ideally, we'd like to build a house up here, but something about it being a preserved historical area...blah, blah, blah....we'll see how desperate California gets when they really go bankrupt.....muhahaha!

Ava's new love for "picking flowers," which literally has becoming picking the flower and then picking it to shreds...hmmm...she's got some learning to do.....
So, this basically sums up the rest of July

....sorry for the delayed updates.....mama's been a little preoccupied.
