Fleeting Summer Fun

We are in our last week before school starts, and can't believe that summer is almost over!  We aren't letting that stop us from having plenty of fun though! I haven't been so great with taking my camera with us places so these photos are all from my phone...sorry for the poor quality!

Potty training has been going...not so great.  One day when I was changing Macy she told me Barbie needed a diaper and to possibly persuade her to go potty I told her "Barbie goes on the potty like a big girl."  A while later Macy came up to me and announced "Barbie is going potty like a big girl!"  I went into the bathroom and found this:

 HA!  I was laughing so hard.  I'm just glad she didn't try putting Barbie on the big potty where she would probably have fallen in! 

We went to visit my Aunt Noreen recently and she was babysitting for my cousin Ron's little girl Avery who is just a few months younger than Macy.  We had a very fun play date!

First we went to Jungle Java

In their bathing suits ready to go to the splash pad!

Macy looooved the splash pad. I wish we had one closer to us!

Kissing Cousins

We have continued to spend plenty of time at the beach- taking a snack break!

Last week I needed to run some errands in Saginaw so I took Macy along with me and we had a little Mommy Daughter date.

 

We started with lunch at B-Dubs

After some shopping we went to the Children's Museum in downtown Saginaw.  Macy went here for her cousin Bella's birthday party a couple of months ago and really liked it, so I figured we'd check it out again!  Here she is playing in the water!

Fishing like Daddy

I tried to get her to pose for me in the giant mouth but she was more into knocking out teeth!

Here was her status about 0.5 seconds after getting into the car for the ride home.  A sign of a fun day!

Lily and Bella came up to stay with Grandma and Grandpa again last weekend.  We had some fun at the beach.

We had a cookout/campfire in the back yard Saturday evening while the church festival was happening right behind our house, so we had some polka music blaring to liven up the party.  The girls had so much fun together.  Here are Lily, Grandpa and Macy hanging out!

The Dog Days of Summer

The past few weeks have brought us plenty of summertime fun!  Here are some photos of what we've been up to:

We celebrated Grandpa Polega's birthday on July 24th.  Between June and July we have several birthdays in our close family (including Mumma's and Daddy's!).  Macy was starting to think every day needed to be someone's birthday and of course we needed a birthday cake! 

We went to the Huron Community Fair.  This was Macy's first time at a fair.  She loved it all, the animals, the rides, the food!  Her favorite was the bounce house.  I had to crawl in and physically remove her in order to get her out of it!

Trying Cotton Candy for the first time! 

Hi Piggy!

This is the only game we played.  Macy could have sat there and played with the ducks all day!

Cruising

Macy braved the giant slide!

Tough to get a good shot on the moving carousel, but she loved riding the horse!

Back to everyday life...we fashioned Macy her own waterslide during the week of the heat wave!

Hanging with Grandma and Julia

We've gotten to go out on the boat more this summer now that we live in Port Austin! Macy and Julia are enjoying the ride.

Post-boat ride...Sharing pizza!

Princess Macy

Our little Rockstar!

We got to hit the beach with more cousins!  Here are Macy and Lily

Lily, Macy and Bella playing in the sand

I love how Bella and Macy are holding hands while we walk over to the playground.  So sweet!

We did a picnic at the park.  When I told Macy we were going on a picnic she insisted on bringing along her (toy) picnic basket as you can see in the background! 

Although we haven't had the warmest summer, we have managed to get in plenty of beach time!  It's easier when you only live a couple of blocks from the beach!
