There's a bright golden haze on the meadow

One sweaty Saturday we took the youth group to a Redhawks game in Oklahoma City.

 

Despite the crazy heat we had a great time.

After a couple of innings, and several foul balls hit near us, Ava leaned over to me and said, "Did anybody tell those boys the rules about this game?  The ball is supposed to stay on the field."  Oh my little rule follower.  Life will be so frustrating for her.

First taste of funnel cake

Sweet friend Kade came to sit by Ava at her request.

Josh, Ava and I spent some time helping the fantastic TC set up her new 1st grade classroom.

I found this La Vie Boheme shirt for Ava for $4 at TJ Maxx.  It is both of our favorite shirt right now.  Do not judge me for letting Ava listen to the shirt's namesake song from Rent.  It endeared the shirt to her even more.

 Would Señorita Cautious-Pants go down the inflatable water slide?  Heck no.  But she did enjoy watching the older kids play on it.

Instead, she passed her time in the baby pools.

Thanks for your continued patience with our meager blog posts as we pack and prepare to leave for Switzerland.  As if we aren't excited enough to be traveling to a foreign country for three months, check out this forecast!
