Dancing in the Heat

In most of the country, summers are a time of fun – being outdoors and enjoying good weather. Here in Arizona, its not quite the same – with temperatures approaching 110 already, we have to find fun indoor and near-water activities.

It turns out that one of Ava’s favorite activities is to dance. She loves going to Shake, Rattle, and Roll at the library (although she tends to mostly watch the bigger kids). And she has taken up a role as Mom’s dance partner at home.

Obviously Mo is leading…

Ava loves to be up high!

Naturally all the dancing works up an appetite. Here’s Ava with the remnants of dinner when she attempts to feed herself (and maybe wipes her hands across her face). DSC02493

Since we’ve been swimming almost every afternoon to cool off from the heat, today we decided to get Ava a new swimsuit. Here she is modeling off her new bikini at the pool. She was going to strut down the catwalk, but since she can’t quite walk yet this will have to do.  DSC02511

Last night we went to visit John, Renee, and Colin. Scott was holding Colin for a while in his legs.

It reminds us of when Ava could fit in our legs only 11 months ago (July ‘09).

That about sums up our busy weekend. Hopefully you all are enjoying summer weather!
