our first game of golf

My parents love golf! They play all the time. Last year, they bought Hailey her first set of golf clubs, in a miniature

Hailey-size. She really hadn't used them, except a few "practice" swings here and there. So, they decided to try to take her out for a quick 9 holes on a par 3 more casual course. I was going to go along, just for fun- to watch and take some pics. But, somehow I got talked into playing...And, it was super fun! I really enjoyed it! I am not really any good at it, but I am looking forward to going more often so I can practice my skills!

Hailey did pretty well, but around hole #7, she just wanted to be done... so, she sat down on the green and started eating her cereal!

DORA

Last weekend we took Hailey to see the stage production of Dora the Explorer. She was really excited to go downtown to the theater!

She brought her Dora doll along...

& Daddy bought her a new Diego doll before the show started.

The show was really cute, and much better than I expected! It was so funny to see all of the kids get so into it, and yell things out, to "help" Dora and her friends!

LEMONADE STAND!

Our neighborhood garage sale was held last weekend. We didn't participate, although we should have...could have unloaded a bunch of junk that is taking up space in the garage! Anyway, Hailey's good friend, Maddie set up a lemonade stand at her house during the sale. So, Hailey, and her other friend Brinley helped Maddie with her lemonade stand most of the day. I ran down to take some pictures when they were first getting it set up. They were so dang funny! I think they drank (and spilled) just as much as they sold!

Side note: these pics were taken before we put a up the huge rainbow umbrella -for some shade, and brought down all of our kids chairs for them to lounge in!

They had to be comfortable while they were out selling their lemonade!

Have I mentioned that Hailey loves her neighborhood friends? She is so into all of the girls in the neighborhood! She always wants to be out playing with them! It is so neat to see her starting to establish little friendships! Such a social butterfly!

Daddy's coffee mug

We painted a coffee mug for Tony for Father's Day. Yes, I know it isn't Father's Day yet, but don't worry...this post won't ruin the surprise! Hailey already did that herself. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to give Tony his special hand-painted masterpiece. She told him about it the same day that we picked it up from the studio! Funny girl!

She picked out green for the main color, and blue for the polka dots!

Then, we put a pink hand print on it too!

We had lots of fun (especially since our friends Tara, Bronwyn, & Hayden were there too!)

The finished product...before the firing and glazing.

Estes Park

Last Sunday, we went up to Estes Park for the day.

We did a little sight seeing...

Took a few trips on the GO-Karts...

played a little miniature golf...
rode the bumper cars a couple of times...

We had a really fun day! Hailey's favorite thing was the Go-Karts. She has been talking about them all week, and how she wants to go back to the mountains to go on them again!

Zoo field trip

Hailey had her field trip to the zoo last week. She really enjoyed spending some time at the zoo with her friends from preschool! We walked all over, and viewed lots of animals before having a picnic lunch with her teachers and her friends. Hailey was really sad to say goodbye to all of her friends as she hugged them goodbye one last time!
