Summer "Firsts"

Sophia had a big day today! We have been trying to take advantage of the warm weather and get out as much as we can. So today, I packed a picnic lunch and we headed for the park.

Sophia's First Picnic:

Lunchtime!
After lunch, we laid in the shade and played for awhile

Smiles
...and giggles
After Jared got home from work, we all ate dinner, took a walk, and then got into our swimsuits and played in the pool. We blew up a bigger one for Jared and me, and Sophia had her own little pool! Hers was warmer though, so I crammed myself into her pool too ;)

After we were cooled off, we got dressed and headed to Sophia's first parade! It is SummerFest in Oakdale this weekend, and the festivities started at 7pm.

Sophia's First Parade:

When the clowns went by...

Picking up candy!

Sucking on a wrapped sucker

After we realized that at some point she got the wrapper off...

A good shot of her blue tongue

First parade as a family!

Waving to the floats

Heading home
