Klepto

Last weekend Ry went on an adventure with his brothers. Ba and LE were left behind. Sad? Yes, but it is good for Ry to get in some brother/man time. Ba was determined to have some fun as well, so they went to her sisters house for a day and a half of the trip. LE, Abe and Big Red had a swell time. Playing with shaving cream on the table was a big hit, but Abe was a little hesitant to getting messy.


When Ry is gone, what else is left to do but go shopping!! Ba found some nice clothes for LE for next summer which is always fun. At one store, Ba was checking out and LE was playing with some displays. While driving on the freeway, Ba noticed LE was pulling things out of the bag and was playing with some lotion. Ba didn't buy any lotion. Little pirate snuck her goods under the sensors, and right past the security cameras. Ba had a good laugh and turned around at the next exit and headed back to the mall. We had a little talk about making sure we pay for things before putting them into the bag.

The local town was throwing a safety fair. LE thought she was such a big girl when she was able to sit in the fire truck.


Waiting in line to sit up in the truck.


Aunt Netty and Uncle S were so nice and treated us to ice cream. Abe and LE shared a cotton candy scoop. It wasn't very good, but LE thought it was great. She looked like a little Smurf before she was done.

Over Labor Day weekend, the girls headed over to nick-knack heaven, Swiss Days. We like to get there early and beat all the crazy shoppers. It is always so much fun to walk around and see what decorating ideas other people have, and what the "hot" items are.



LE has become quite the pool shark. She is very sad that our complex pool is now closed for the season. If you look closely, she has just enough hair to make a tiny pony tail. That is 18 months of hard work.

Ba taught swim lessons to family, and she just loved teaching people of all ages. Below is our niece just figuring out how to side breath. Doesn't she look good?
