We decided to stay home this evening and have a "family flick night". Amelia got all dressed up in princess gear, we loaded up on snacks, piled up all our comfy seating, and laid around the floor together watching "Cinderella".
Amelia LOVED the movie -- she was totally drawn in and didn't take her eyes away from the tv.
Except with the animal crackers and nutella came out....
Saturday 7/8
We had a busy day!! In the morning, we walked down to the farmer's market, and got our usual yummies.
Afterward, we came home and loaded up the car for a few stops.
First, the library - Amelia's favorite stop:
Returning last week's selections:
Putting a sticker on her name, for the summer reading program:
She hopped on a computer to play a Dora game, but was less successful at it once she stopped letting Mommy help:
And, of course, she had to say hi to the fishies!
Next, we stopped at a (plant) nursery to pick up some things. Amelia got a little treat between that and a stop at the grocery store:
We came home, had lunch, and put Amelia down for her nap.
While she was napping, we planted the tree that we got from the nursery:
We got all of this stuff with a gift card that I recently received from some friends -- a sort of memorial to my Mom. The tree is a hydrangea. The little plant is yellow rose (one of her favorites).
After her nap, we tossed Amelia in the car, and took a picnic supper to the zoo.
Our goal - to see the new polar bears!
They were pretty boring -- just sleeping on this rock the whole time:
Amelia was more interested in the tunnel below -- where people can walk through and possibly see the bears swimming.
Pointing out the polar bears:
Checking out the fishies in the water:
A better view of the two polar bears:
From the tunnel below, she liked watching the fish and, of course, the people above:
Checking out the new playground near the polar bear exhibit:
She was so independent at the playground - she would go down this slide, and then ran around to do it again.
Riding the polar bear:
She does this pose a lot lately -- if you indicate that you're going to give her something she likes, she'll go "for me??!" and put her hands by her face:
Sunday 7/11

On this day, we went to church in the morning, came home for lunch and a nap, and then hung around the house playing in the evening.... gotta have a slow day after our busy Saturday!
