September in Scottsdale

After the Minnesota trip we were at home for a while. September for us in Arizona means that pool time is starting to end, as it gets to be nice enough to hit the parks again.

First off, a video of Ali continuing to improve her walking skills.

We tend to start our morning with a bikeride, walk, or a hike.

The girls love going fast in the trailer on the bike…

 

But they also enjoy hiking in the mountains.

With the nice weather, we are able to enjoy the backyard more. Whether it is Ali trying to ride Ava’s bike…

…Watering the garden…

…Swimming in the pool…

Or just having dinner on the patio, we definitely use our backyard.

We’ve been able to hit the parks more often too. Ali is happy carrying anything around that she can get her hands on.

Or playing on the see saw.

Of course all that play requires a little cooling off in the splash pad.

Ava is into things that go fast, like bikes.

While Ali is sometimes content just to sit in the grass.

 

Ava loves to play dressup. Especially as Rapunzel.

Ava and Dad did their first circus at Westworld. Ava likes the clowns.

And watching the elephants.

Although riding the elephant was even better.

As was riding the pony.

We even had some excitement in the neighborhood with a fire truck up the street that day.

And this month we got a new car for the family.

That’s all for September…
