July Recap

 

These two together are my favorite!

June living her best Summer life

My two cross country girls off to get a run in together

Summer movie date

The girls had evening practices twice a week so Chris and I although weird having an empty house around dinner time got used to having at home dates

We also enjoyed a Summer date night out.  I had been wanting to go The Farmhouse restaurant at Rogers Gardens for years and finally we went.

It did not disappoint!  The place was gorgeous and the food as delicious. 

After we drove over to Balboa Island to walk around and enjoy the sunset.

My favorite place to peep all the gorgeous homes especially at night when I can see inside and swoon over the decor!

Kayla's first car accident and hopefully her last happened.  Tell me how and why the girls got a care basket, flowers and dessert from friends and friends parents when Kayla was at fault???

I told them the gifts should be for Chris and I and the stress she caused us!

A fun Summer night party!

Lunch before our annual back to school shopping.

Always nice to spend the day with my girls but the back to school shopping was not a success.  There was nothing cute whatsever. 

Kayla went to Disneyland with her boyfriend and his family.  She said it was super hot and way too crowded which is exactly why I was not jealous this time.

Ready for bed

Peanut butter ice cream cake ready for guests

Cross country had two practices down at the beach this Summer.  The girls had so much fun hanging with their friends all day after they did their workout.

A family hike at the end of the month just before wrapping up Summertime

Can you spot the bobcat? 

 He was not too happy to see us.

While Kayla was in Mammoth for Cross Country Brooklyn and I tried out another mall for some back to school shopping.  She found much more there and wanted to send a picture to Kayla of us together.

That same week Kayla was gone I had to along with a few of the other parents of the kids away at camp, pick out her Senior parking spot.  We got there an hour early because we had strict instructions on where and who needed to be next to them.  Thankfully nobody was there but us crazy moms so the office did not make us wait.  We got the parking spots and off we went.

I also grabbed these before I left.

Ready or not, my baby is a SENIOR!

I'm definitely not ready!!!!

Our One and Only Summer Camping Trip

 Sadly we only had one camping trip this Summer.  It was hard to find the time in-between the girls cross country practice, our trip to Kauia and other commitments we had already made.

Both girls reading!

Brooklyn found a book she wanted to read this Summer and I was very happy because she rarely reads anymore.

I love you beach camping trips!

I got the girls and I matching anklets

Camp nights

Why are teenagers anti pictures??

The next morning we woke up to clouds. It stayed cloudy the remainder of our trip but we made the best of it.

The girls needed to run so we started out all together and then Chris, Kayla and Brooklyn went off on their own to fun while I did a hike on my own.

I enjoyed taking my time and taking pictures. 

I did not enjoy seeing the snake trails! When the girls and Chris got back I got to hear how Brooklyn wasn't looking ahead and Chris had to grab her to stop her from running directly into a rattlesnake that was crossing by.

After our morning workouts it was beachtime

Followed by dinner and Shake Shack malts/milkshakes

The next morning it was time for another run and even thought I didn't think I'd be going on another hike due to the rattlesnake possibilities I ended up going anyway.

Thankfully I made it through without seeing one but Kayla saw one on her way back.

Beach and books on our last day

Leaving is the hardest when I know it will be a year before I am back in my happy place!
