days of summer, part 1

well i don't know about you guys, but around here 'back to school' mode and anticipating fall (one of my fave seasons) is in full swing. i love summer days and nights and of course the warmth of the sun but there's something wonderful about taking a walk on a crisp fall day or snuggling with a good tea an night.

we had a fantastic summer this year and were very fortunate to do a lot of great activities. 
join me in reminiscing them won't you?!

first up: the water park. 

our summer was sprinkled with many visits to various water parks, fleetwood park
being our fave. lots of grassy areas to set up your blanket, the water park is big so there's lots
of places to explore, yet its well contained too.


emma sure loves her water! she makes friends easily so it wasn't
too long before we she was off running around with a bunch of girls!




this little beach bum is an independent soul, so she 
found herself either basking in the sun or running 
around with her toys!


how she could sit on that scorching concrete, i'll never know..
(don't worry, after this photo was taken i ran over to bring a towel
she could sit on!)


another one of our favorite things to do is visit krause berry farms
to pick ourselves some berries and have a delicious
farm fresh milkshake!!


a winery you say? as you may know from previous posts, we loove our wine
so it was neat to see that this family owned farm has expanded with an estate winery!
sadly we were unable to taste their wines as they had not 
opened their tasting room yet, but we sure hope its worth the visit!


the girls were ready to pick some berries for sure! 


this time around we picked some raspberries, which were 
super delicious, even as you can see, we have our own
personal taste tester..




emma decided she'd have a go at pulling her little sister around..
that got old real quick...






our pickins! 


a visit just isn't a visit without a taste of their
delicious strawberry milk shakes..the girls quiet down pretty quick when they
get one in front of them!





never a dull moment in the de paz family, stay tuned for some more
summer fun! :)
