Cousins Natalie and Blake's Sheep

We went to visit Cousins Natalie and Blake at the Gage County Fair in July. Allie enjoyed seeing all of the animals. Her love for them is evident. As one little boy walked up to pet a goat through the fence that Allie had previously been petting, she yelled out, "My goats! No! That's Allie's goat.", though, she had no clue who they belonged to. We were fortunate that Blake was taking the sheep for a walk when we arrived so Allie was able to see them up close. She even thought she was pretty cool when she held the rope all by herself.

Lincoln Children's Museum

Allie enjoyed going to the Lincoln Children's Museum with grandma and mom. Her favorite was the tractor. She would have us bang on the windows and have to her through it.

Water Park

Allie spent one afternoon at the water park with her second cousins while we were in Nebraska. She had so much fun splashing with Rudy in the water. At the end of the day, her great-grandma thought she had to have some ice cream. Very messy as you can tell.

Pablo

Allie can't get enough of Pablo, her Aunt Amanda's doggie. That poor dog was pushed in a stroller, chased, and teased this summer while we were back home. Allie adores him so much she even has her own stuffed Pablo that is one of the zillion animals that sleeps with her each night.

How I Love My Uncle Jesse!

Allie spending time with Uncle Jesse and Aunt Misuzu while in Nebraska in July.

Swimming

Allie started swim lessons last week at Hubbard Swim School. Not a fun night for me! It was our first class and we the regular instructor wasn't there so we had a sub. He was a nice guy but toddler swim lessons didn't exactly seem like his forte. Things were a little rough but we managed to get through the half hour lesson. Here's hoping things go better tomorrow night!
