Fun with the New Camera at the Capitol

Summer Week 4 - It's Going Too Fast

We went to a Lexington Legends Baseball game on Tuesday evening.   After reaching our seats, Alexander was  begging to play at the kids' play area.  I set the timer for 10 minutes and then we went to play.  He enjoyed bouncing, playing soccer, and baseball.  We didn't see much of the game, but we had a great time with Sarah and Caroline.  

 

          Audrey was studying the program.

The kids enjoyed visiting with their great grandmother, Nana. 

Owen and I took Jessica to dinner at Coba Cocina for her birthday. We had a great time. 

Mimi enjoys her sweet snuggles with baby Owen. 

Friday we went to Juniper Hills park for a picnic and play time.  It was a beautiful day. 

We were so proud of Carter for winning second place in the Frankfort Country Club's Junior Golf Tournament.  Way to go, Carter Tate. 

After our busy morning at the park Owen and Alexander enjoyed a nap on the porch.  Mommy used to take naps in the swing on that same porch when she was a teenager. 

Adam took the kids to Southern Seminary in Louisville while Mommy and Mimi prepared for Kelley's bridal shower. 




                       
Sunday night we visited Uncle Derrick and his family.  We see some resemblance between Owen and Derrick.  Audrey and Alexander enjoyed playing with Conner and Carson. It was a busy week.  We had lots of fun.  In the midst of all our play we had a special wedding shower for Kelley.  There will be a separate post about that.  We have one more week in Frankfort and many more people to visit, so we better get busy.  

Summer Week 3

We were all so excited to see Jessica and Addie Mae.  Sweet friends reunited again for a cloudy day at the pool. 

Not only did Owen turn four months on Thursday, he celebrated his first Fourth of July.  Unfortunately, it was very rainy. 

Since we couldn't enjoy the day playing outside we went shopping.  Audrey and Alexander got new pajamas.  Audrey was much too warm at night at Mimi's since we didn't have the air conditioning on. 

On Sunday we went to church in Lexington at Providence.  It was great to see old friends. 

Carter and Owen

Audrey has always loved Carter.  

Mimi got Auj this nice chair in case she was unable to walk around with her blistered feet.  Her feet are much better.  The blisters have popped and are healing well. 

Happy 4th of July!

Mimi and Owen

 Fireworks at last! It has rained every evening so we finally got to see fireworks on Sunday night.  Alexander thought they were a little loud and bright, but Audrey thought they were beautiful.  Daddy is off to Louisville for his class this week.  We are hoping for more sunshine and less rain so we can have some fun at the pool. 

Summa Time Part 2

Adam went to Nashville on Sunday and we stayed in Owensboro with Nana and Madeline  

Audrey enjoyed meeting Trey's niece Addison.  They had fun playing dolls together.   

Tuesday we went swimming with Trey and Madeline.   Owen loved the water.

 

Movie time with Trey. 

On Thursday we went to Smother's Park for a picnic and playtime. 

 We enjoyed our lunch and then headed to the spray park.  The kids had on crocs, but chose to take them off to play in the water.  Seconds later Audrey was screaming.  I thought she couldn't find me so I tried to get her attention, but she kept running in circles crying.  I scooped her up and she continued to cry.  I realized her feet were hot.  I put the ice pack from the lunch box on them, but she continued to cry. I put them in the cool water from the sprayers, but it didn't help.  After no relief we decided to leave and went to urgent care.  They immediately put burn cream on her blistered feet and wrapped them in gauze.  She didn't stop crying until the Tylenol kicked in a bit later.  I felt horrible.  She couldn't walk and spent most of the day on the couch watching princess movies. 

Lots of other children were playing without shoes and their feet were not burned.  The surface was soft and cushy. It should have been safe and didn't feel extremely hot to me.  My poor baby's feet. 

 Alexander had been so understanding of having to leave the park quickly due to Audrey's injuries that I took him to another park on Friday. We had fun playing together. 

 On Friday night Daddy returned from Nashville and was craving some Dole Whip.  We took Alexander along for a little Orange Leaf treat.  Brownie batter with gummy bears.  Yummy!
