Avila is my new favorite get away spot. And way back in April our family was in need of a get away. We biked, we built sand castles, we ran from the waves, we danced at the Farmer's Market, we swam, we laughed, we rested! It was a glorious weekend!!
My all time favorite picture of the girls from our Avila weekend. It is a perfect depiction of who they are together!
We started our trip out with an impromptu visit to my Uncle and Aunt's winery just outside of Paso Robles. It was wonderful to see their new house. So if you are ever in the area, look up Graveyard Vineyards.... they would love to serve you!
Because Josiah now can ride her bike without training wheels (that doesn't mean she always wants too!), her and Adalie can no longer share a bicycle. So the very first morning, just as the sun peeped its rays over the earth, the three of us surprised Adalie with a brand new bicycle of her very own!!
So now, let the fun begin!!
Bicycling to the beach!
Josiah practicing her newest trick of riding without training wheels. Right after her 6th birthday she decided to give it a try. Too bad we don't have many places to ride at home in the mountains!
And yes, she does get Mommy and Uncle Jon's "sick look" when she is nervous!!
Adalie looked so tiny and so cute on her new bicycle. She had that smile across her face all weekend long!
Adalie (3years) and Mommy practicing her riding skills.
Playin' in the sand....
Farmer's Market we ate yummy fruit and kettle corn, danced to the live music and had our caricatures drawn.
And last but not least, Adalie's favorite all time activity..... SWIMMING!!
Thank you Mimi and Papa CT for a fun weekend getaway!
It is true that a sure way to a Mother's heart is to love her children. Miss Jill does just that. And our girls love her in return. Miss Jill has made their class the perfect combination of laughter, play, tickle and chasing with discipline, skills, training and work!
This year's recital was performed to the music of Tiki Room (a song we will all have stuck in our heads for a long long time)! (Josiah and Kaia 6yrs)
The girls and their friends we perfectly adorable. Along with seat drops on the trampoline, dive rolls and balance beam, Josiah showcased her cartwheel and Adalie a somersault. (Adalie, Kaiya and Khloe 3yrs).
We were grateful this year to have our very best buddies in our class with us. (Kaiya and Adalie 3yrs with Miss Jill).
They were REALLY fun to watch!
This was a special year in many ways, but in one way in particular.... it was the last year that our girls will be in the same class. I will miss their sweetness toward one another as they helped each other learn! But we are looking forward to new things next year!
