Harpers Nest

We took a trip to Sea World on Labor Day!  We had fun…until the afternoon when it was hotter and there were more people and Zaida hadn't really taken a nap and we were cranky!  Of course that is when we decided to take in the Shamu show, which wasn't the best idea!  But then we went back to the cold places and watched the penguins again and ended the day happy!  Sea World has the Bay of Play now with the Seasame Street characters so Zaida got to meet Elmo. As you can see from the pic. she clung to Steve for dear life!   so we went to the pretend Elmo and gave him "5".

She did enjoy watching the animals though.   and we rode some rides…the up and down one…  and the spinning one…  I'm not so fond of that one!

Earlier in August Zaida got to meet a few of her great aunts and a great uncle for the first time.  Steve's mom has a lot of brothers and sisters (she's one of 10!) and some of them came out to CA to visit Uncle Mike.    Uncle Mike has a pool and that is where Zaida was at 6 or 6:30 in the morning!!   She's pool crazy now!  And this month Zaida went to Adalynne's 1st birthday party, which was a pool party!  Adalynne is the newest member of the family I work for.     we picked up some cool shades at the party!  

And then just the other day Zaida helped me vacuum for the first time, she actually pulled out her vacuum first and I thought, "hey, good idea" so we vacuumed together!      That's our adventures for August for you!
