Roweyn's Ramblings Wk. 72

It was just Roweyn and me this week at home so we spent as much time as we could outside 
and going on adventures!

"Mummy come in!"

Sitting pretty on the porch.

Taking photos while on the potty.

Pinterest inspired fishtail braided bun.

Be still my heart!

Happy girl swinging!

Fro yo date with this special girl!

New jeans for this girl!

Sad to see her in 2t already for length

but her waist is so teeny tiny I have to tighten the adjustable

waist all the way tight.

Family walk!

Island life

Roweyn's version of sunglasses on the boat.

Happy 6th birthday to my pup Cyder.

Also?

Me on the wakeboard.

First time in 4 years and I got up on the first try.

Roweyn's Ramblings Wk. 71

Halfway through Summer and we are trying to enjoy every minute of it!

So far so good!

Evening Beach time.

A 5:30pm nap.

This is what happens when someone refuses to nap

the day before while Nana watched her & then refused 

to nap the next day until Mama got home from work.

Playing at a super fun indoor play place

while Mama makes money doing kids hair cuts.

Intentionally ignoring Mama.

Yay my new swim suit is here & it fits!

Taking a nice nap after a super fun day.

Work!

I was told by my Mom that I looked like an Easter Egg.

This Face!!!

Chasing Mama trying to soak me.

Super fun Renaissance Children's Fair.

So many fun kids crafts.

Roweyn loved it.

Absent Minded

I apologize for being so absent on here lately! 

I don't think I've ever slacked quite this much with blogging....

but we've been busy enjoying our Summer as much as possible! 

A few things we've been up to lately:

This Summer has been flying by, I feel like we've hardly done anything but at the same time we've done a good amount. 

I just don't want Summer to end! 

I love this hot weather, spending as much time outside as possible, 

how happy it makes me feel and going on adventures with my girl.

We still have lots of fun stuff to do, so unfortunately this blog will be put at the bottom of our list. 

I'll post when I can and I have lots of catching up to do, so there will be posts dating back to May and it will be slow going but it's better late than never!

Hope you all are enjoying your Summer!

xoxo

We're back from our trip and wow what a week it's been! 

Lots of fun things happened this week.

New mug from Anthropologie I bought while in Orange County.

Stencil for the very special Tattoo I just got!

Almost finished!!

The finished product! 

Not the best photo but I absolutely love it.

It's an owl for Roweyn in case you couldn't tell. :)

She loves it & as soon as she saw it she said "My owl! My owl!"

Splish Splash!

Naked swim time in the pool!

Rowe's new hair.

Sensory play with pom poms.

Boating!

Rowe sure does love being on the boat.

Being Crafty!

Spray painting everything I can find.

It's way too fun!

More Craftiness.

Making a Felt Play Board for Roweyn to play with.

Our Trip to Orange County Pt. 3 & 4th of July

Our last few days in Orange County were spent at the beach.

The weather was a little cooler & overcast 

but we still made sure to enjoy every minute of it!

Riding a sideways elevator down to the beach!

That was a first for both of us!

The Family being tourists in Laguna Beach.

This girl loving the playground at the beach in Laguna.

Swinging at the beach in Laguna.

We spend 4th of July hanging out at Laguna Beach.

Sadly it was chilly & overcast all day.

So we spent our day in sweaters playing in the sand

and trying to stay warm.

We still enjoyed eating yummy grilled corn among other tasty food 

our lovely host & friends made for us.

Showing me sea shells.

A Yarn Bombed Tree!!

Orange County was a blast!

It's definitely one of my favorite areas.

I would love to live there some day.

The weather is my favorite and would be totally

Our Trip to Orange County Pt. 2 | San Diego Zoo

On our fifth day in Orange County we took a trip down to the San Diego Zoo!!

I hadn't been there since I was 10 years old so it was pretty fun to be able to share it with Roweyn like we were both there for the first time.

Visiting the Giraffes!

Not sure what Roweyn was staring at...

We got to feed the Giraffes too which was lots of fun!

Hanging out with the baby Jaguars.

The group of us!

This is a picture of a picture. haha

Roweyn just hanging out on a lion.

This is just a small look into our entire day.

We took a 30 minute tour of the entire zoo.

Went on the sky tram to get a look at the whole zoo from above.

We visited the Elephants, Pandas, Monkeys, Orangutans, Gorillas, 

Hippos, Polar Bears, the real Lions, and pretty much every other animal that was there!

Roweyn had a blast and so did I.

I had fun seeing all the animals but my favorite part was watching

Roweyn get excited about every animal she saw or every activity she liked.

I can't wait to take her back again when she is older & hopefully visit the Safari Park too!

Our Trip to Orange County Pt. 1

At the end of June we headed down to Orange County in our car

for a mini vacation and to visit our friends. 

Pretty much one of my least favorite things is riding in a car for more than a few hours. But it wasn't that bad, even with a toddler and 11 year old in the car!

We made it in about 9 hours including going through LA so we made really good time.

Roweyn still happy as can be rear facing in her car seat at 2.5 years.

She had her baby under her blanket with her and she was nursing her baby.

This was while we were going through the grapevine.

The beach at San Clemente!

This was the first ocean beach Roweyn had been to, 

two years before when she was only 7 months old.

It was fun to return to the same beach to make new memories.

Flying over the waves.

Pondering where she wants to make a sand castle.

And photo bombed by my sister.

Being tourists at The Grove.

Treasure Beach in Laguna.

Such a beautiful resort and beach!

Climbing in giant holes.

I think she saw a boat or a helicopter

so she was way too busy to look at the camera.

Secrets with Nana.

Hangin at the San Clemente State Beach.

She loves her Mama.

The first four days were a blast! But just the start of our trip.

Lots more photos to come. 

Including our trip to the San Diego Zoo,

more beach time and 4th of July!
