Viva Las Vegas!

Last weekend, we took our first road trip to Las Vegas to visit Aunt Rita and Uncle Hank.

The trip was wonderful. We had a fun, relaxing time and really felt like we got away.

Ready for the pool!

Makenna's new bathing suit. The halter style was very flattering.

Swimming with Daddy

Makenna was not so sure about floating on her back.

Cheese!

Makenna discovered that kitty toys are lots of fun!

Chatting with Aunt Rita

Makenna with the Great Aunt and Uncle!

Drinking water

and being silly!

We weren't ready to say goodbye. What a great weekend!

Makenna's First Dodger Game

On our way into Dodger Stadium, home of Vin Scully, MANNYWOOD, and the Dodger dog.

Yay!

Daddy, I can't see!

Manny up to bat.

Mommy is a Dodger fan too!

We stayed until the 7th inning stretch so we could sing "Take me out to the ball game."

Makenna's Baptism

Makenna (and her cousin Jadyn) got baptized last Saturday, July 18th at St. Augustine's Church.

Makenna's First Swim

Makenna and I went to Aunt Pam's house. It was a sunny, warm day so Makenna put on her bathing suit...

and had a snack! A big piece of Wassa bread.

After her snack, she took her first dip in the pool. I forgot my bathing suit, but Pam was happy to take her in.

She liked the water. It was cool and refreshing!

After our swim, we sat by the pool and relaxed.

Then we had a bath in the sink and got ready to go home (but not before some quality time with Uncle Ricky)!
