The Ocean Is Nice!

Since our last trip to the ocean we have really been working with Ava to teach her the ocean is not "scary" but that the ocean is "nice". We recently took Ava back Half Moon Bay and it seems that our reasoning has worked. She now says "ocean not scary, ocean is nice". Here are some pics of her braving the waves with dad!

Okay, I think I have braved enough waves for one day!

Hey dad, hope this feels good

Happy 2nd Birthday Ava!

Ava turned 2 on July 1st and in celebration of her big day we had a super fun Sesame Street themed Birthday party in the park! We had a great time celebrating this special day with our family and Ava's friends. The kids had a blast playing with bubbles, swinging on the swings, and eating Elmo cupcakes.

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this day extra special for our little Ava Miss Ava!

The big birthday girl!
