Christmas in July

Your calendar might say that Christmas is a week away, but indulge me as I attempt to catch up on the blog with our Summer recap.

Kate celebrated the Fourth of July with the annual NW Hills Parade. 
 
 
 
 
 


Kate had her fill of the parade and with the temperature steadily climbing, it was time to head home to cool off.


A few weeks later we were all moved into our new house.  Grandma and Papa were our first visitors.  It wasn't long before the presents came out and the cameras starting clicking.
 
 
 
 



Papa even got to try his hand at BBQ Texas style!
 


Since the heat of summer was in full swing, we stayed cool in Mia's pool.
 


We even managed to brave the heat one morning with a ride on the Zilker Train.


Wasn't long before someone's cheeks were pink!


The Austin Children's Museum provided some nice indoor entertainment.  Here Kate tries to convince Grandma she really needs a shot.
 


No trip to Texas would be complete without some Tex-Mex.  Kate decided she really liked the salsa.


And proceeded to wear it all over herself!


She even picked up some new skills while Grandma entertained her with videos of their puppy dog on the iPhone.  She's got that finger swipe down pat!


We even convinced Grandma and Papa to come to our weekly music class.


Kate shows Grandma the proper way to wear her lei for Hawaiian day.


Kate gives Papa a few hair styling tips.


One last stop on the Austin tour - Amy's Ice Cream.


Kate was in no mood for any more photos so this was the best we got!


Without Grandma and Papa, Kate was back to making her own fun.  
 


We visited the fire station with our play group.  Kate was less than impressed to sit in the fire truck!


But she makes sure to always accessorize when going out.


Wow, can't believe you've actually stuck with me through this never ending post.  Kind of like how our summer felt!!  On to cooler weather and fall fun!
