Long Summer

It feels like this summer has gone on far longer than most.  We have been trying to take advantage of the perfect, warm weather and spending lots of time outdoors. 

Here we are at the Mission Rose Garden:

Zoe looks so old here...

....but this picture makes me feel better, she looks little again  :)

It was so hot in our neighborhood this past weekend (93 degrees) and, as most of you know, there is no air conditioning in most of the houses in Santa Barbara. We decided to escape to Beachside Cafe where the kids could people/bird/boat watch and play in the sand.

Best buddies already.

 We've also been enjoying the yard a lot more these days. The pop up pool is a hit with Zoe. Maddox is still getting used to it but I'm sure he'll be splashing around in it soon enough. We also just discovered that our fig tree now has a ton of figs just ripening.

Almost....

....wait for it...

....got it!

Mmmm...Zoe couldn't get enough.

 

Maddox seemed to like his figs too.

And this is what our 3 year old monkey does on the swing now. Maybe she'll be like me and like to climb trees :)
