Outdoor fun

Gabrielle LOVES to be outside. So, I have been trying better to take her out before her morning nap, or after her afternoon nap to avoid the Texas heat. She really enjoys walking down the street to our mailbox in the mornings, and we've been trying to get out in the pool or swing in the afternoons.

Her favorite toy in the pool is a sailboat that she can detach the sail from.

Blowing bubbles in the water like we practiced at swim lessons in June!


One of the first times she's laid down in the water by herself...

The hat was drenched after that--good thing she was in the shade!

Just relaxin'--she figured out that the side of the pool was like a pillow.

One of her other boats in her pool.


Playing with the water/sand contraption.


A nice ledge to set our toys out to dry, I guess.


Just havin' fun in the sun!

So, one night this week after supper we went outside for a little bit and used Gabrielle's bubble machine that she got for her birthday. She loved trying to "catch" the bubbles before they hit the ground. I think that Nick had just as much fun with the bubble maker. It's in the shape of a hippo, and has a name tag on the front: Boubly. Of course, Nick pronounces it "boob-ly". Nice, huh? :)



I think she was more interested in the bubble bottle after a while--great!



Here's a quick video of our bubble adventures.
