August Re-Cap

We started August out with a fun Hassler family trip to the ZOO! We had not been to the KC Zoo in years. They have definitely made many improvements and we all had a great time. I think Ava's favorite attraction was the sea lion show. Every time the trainer would feed one a fish, the sea lion would shake it's head back and forth and every time...so would Ava. It was so cute:)

The following weekend we enjoyed the annual Groene family lake weekend. We drove down on Friday morning and did a little outlet shopping and had lunch. That evening we met the rest of the group at the resort for a fun weekend of swimming, visiting, volleyball and FAMILY!

The next weekend we took Ava to Family Fun Day at the Power and Light District. We had a great time. There were several areas set up for arts and crafts and music and a spray on tattoo station...so yes, Ava got her first tattoo:) The day ended with a performance by Mr. Stinky Feet and all of the kids danced and had a fun time.

Miss Ava started swim lessons on the 17th. We signed up with her little friend, Aubrey and it's just the two of them in their class. It's like semi private lessons...we lucked out! Ava loves the water and has progressed quite nicely. She is our little fish!

Later in the month, we made a trip "back home" for my Aunt Linda's wedding reception. We had a great time seeing everyone and spending the evening together. The next day we went to my grandparents house to celebrate my Grandpa's birthday. What a great family weekend!

In addition to all of our weekend events, we continued to enjoy our pool, our friends, Gymboree, Speech and the rest of our "routine" activities.
