Top 10 Summer Favorites

As summer is coming to end I cant help but think of all the exciting adventurers that we have had! Since last summer Payson was only 3-6 months old we got to do things like floating in the pool and taking a stroll around the park but this year she got to swim, and play at the park and run without the stroller! Here are our Top 10 Summer Favorites:

1. Swimming: She was all about the wah-wah (water) once she finally got in. She loves to splash!

 2. Adventures of the walking trails: Payson is getting big enough to walk a ways without needing a stroller and we found this lovely walking trail with a pond, ducks, flowers and places to play along the way! 
3. Evening Stroller Rides: I believe that no matter how stressful and crazy the day was that our evening walks made everything better! So peaceful and she loves to see me while we stroll and enjoy her milk. 
4. Arts and crafts: We enjoyed editable finger paints , Chalk art, crayons and markers! All things arts and crafts are new and exciting to her! 
5. Popsicle's:  Payson really wasn't so sure about this. She kept saying "hot" when she really meant cold.  
6. Bike Rides:  She had a blast bike riding with her Papa Mark behind the big bike and Papa Sonny pushing her on her very own bike
7. Park Playtime: I still am amazed that she could hold herself up like this. She wanted to try the monkey bars and this is what happened! Strong little girl! Did I mention she LOVES to climb... everything! 
8. The Zoo: This was her second trip to the Zoo however the first she was barley big enough to really see the animals. This time she got so excited over seeing the animals and making their sounds. 
9. Let's get Dirty! We may love pretty clothes and accessories but this girl is not afraid of some dirt and worms
10. Fireworks: This was Payson first Fourth of July getting to see the fireworks... and she LOVED them! 

Although summer was buckets of fun I am kind of excited for pumpkin patches, hayrides, trick or treating, leave piles and sweet little sweaters!! 


Edible Play

I love getting outside, getting messy and letting her discover. Today we finger painted with yogurt. Vanilla yogurt + food coloring = hours of yummy fun. I used a gel food coloring and it did not stain the skin. This activity is going in the books for another day. Definitely toddler and mommy approved.
