An Outdoorsy Day

A week or so ago we took a hike at one of my favorite nearby metro parks (Blendon Woods). Naturally I took pics to post and and am only getting around to it now. Better late than never though, right? Uh huh, that's what I thought. :) Soon the leaves will be changing, and I will be posting lots of fall pictures. Fall is my FAVORITE time of year!!!!!!! Click for big versions.

Looking out at the water:

In the Monarch Mansion! :p

Checking out the visitor's center:

Audrey could not get enough of the fish tank. After we initially left the visitor's center, we hiked some and had to come back because she kept asking to see the fishies again. So cute! Baby loved them too apparently.

What a trooper! No strollers on these paths!

Just for fun, here are some pictures from my favorite place to take my walks with Audrey, Sharon Woods. Nothing terribly interesting to point out, just some nice scenery along the 3.8 mile path.

Okay maybe one interesting thing. As I was taking a picture, I noticed a deer standing very still directly to the right of my camera angle, it was crazy! So naturally, I snapped a pic. :)

The deer reminded me of another deer like creature I had seen on tv... so I found the pic... (the kirin from Princess Mononoke!)

... and had some fun with Gimp! Bahaha.

That's it for now. I'm exhausted... all this posting is killing me, ha. Hope you like the blog revamp! YAY FALL!

I know, I know! I fail!

Somehow, no matter how hard I try, I get behind on blogging. For the record, it really does take a huge chunk of time to be a faithful blogger, big ol' chunks of time that I don't necessarily have every day, or even every week for that matter! HOWEVER, I want to keep up with things and I do so love to share about my life and my sweet little girl! Here are a few fun things before I crash for the night.

Audrey is turning out to be QUITE the girly girl. She insists on wearing hats, jewelry (necklaces and bracelets), and often wears my shoes around the house. She still carries "Baby" around everywhere, including to the store and the playground. She carries purses around on her arm. It truly is HIGHLY entertaining to watch her play.

Discovering my bag o' nail polish:

We look forward to walking uptown to our favorite coffee shop with Daddy on Saturdays: (No, she's not drinking coffee!!! GEESH! Our favorite barista - SUCH a sweet lady, we love her! - makes her a small fruit smoothie. "Icecweam mommy! Icecweam!")

She loves to dance, and that is an understatement. Somehow her favorite song has become "Single Ladies".... don't ask!!!!! It's in the Alvin & the Chipmunks sequel so don't yell at me!!!! Dancing requires head gear and jewelry, don'tcha know.

More proof! The second one doesn't have sound for some stupid reason. Anyway, she asks constantly for "Oh, oh, oh", which is what she calls the song. "Dance, mommy? Sing, Oh oh oh? Pleeeeeeeeeease mommy?!"

Walking!

Being silly:

There is more that I'd like to post, but for now I must sleep. Yeah, the one that never sleeps, I know! I'll post more soon! Love ya'll!
