summertime and a social life...

We have survived almost three weeks with one family car (although it has been super difficult and a major adjustment at times)! The biggest struggle has been our feeling of being cooped up inside without going crazy or losing our patience for a week straight... the weather has been too gosh-darn hot to even go for a walk to the park, and not that we could have anyway since our little bug caught a little bug and was snot-nosed, coughing and congested for a week (how little ones can catch a bad cold in the middle of 100 degree summer heat is beyond me!) However, this past week was much better as we were able to get out of the house more... We even had a couple play dates, and on Ryan's first Friday off we trekked down to the San Diego Zoo with Auntie Bebba before she leaves the country on her Tour De Suenos. Here are our highlights from the past week....

play date with her partner in crime- Audrey

(I failed my job of mamarazi on our play date at Riley's)... sugared up mess!

One last Zoo trip with her Auntie Bebba

Monkeying around with Bebba... our first zoo trip where the animals (monkeys especially) weren't lethargic and Jayme got a dose of excitement as one monkey came up to the glass to flirt with her

Nugget enjoyed soaking up some snuggle time and bonding time with her Bebba and Daddy, as well as meeting her cousins  (3rd cousin?) Chole and Bryce for the first time

After a full day at the zoo, we had dinner and a nice visit with Tia Lupe and cousin Bill (who Jayme called Grampa-pa) who were the most generous hosts and we can't wait to visit again! (Most of our time was spent watching all the excitement- including seeing the British Airways jumbo jet land at the airport- from their amazing view)

 

Saturday and Sunday were spent swimming, baking, and loving up on her family at Grampa's house

loving up on her baby "bruder" growing in mommy's tummy (20 weeks)... nevermind my aimless hands in the one pic ;-)
