4th of July

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." - Elmer Davis

     Happy 4th of July all the way from Italy {where we have spent it 3 years in a row}! We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends at a small BBQ yesterday. Thanks Kels and Matt for hosting it, I think I gained about 5 pounds from eating so much delicious food.

Sunflowers

    Last night my good friend Kelsey took me on a little surprise trip to a sunflower field she stumbled upon during the week. She's been teaching me about photography, so she knew I would looooove to take pics of the sunset over this beautiful field full of sunflowers. We got there just in time, I'm talking minutes, before the sun quickly disappeared behind the mountains.

Sirmione and Parco Termale de Garda

     Since we didn't visit Sirmione and the thermal lake on Sunday due to the rain, we went on Monday when the weather was much nicer. We had such a nice time exploring the city and Lake Garda.

Father's Day 2016

      We had a wonderful laid back four day weekend celebrating Aaron being am amazing daddy. I thought it would be sweet for us to make Father's Day extra special for him by making him special art. I love doing crafts with Connor for different holidays and special occasions, so crafts for Father's Day was definitely a must. After nap time on Thursday was the perfect day for us to do them. Connor painted a couple watercolor pictures, drew on the inside of a card that I made, and made a superhero out of  his hand print and foot print all for his daddy. He had  a lot of fun doing it and was so excited to give them to him on Sunday.  

Paris, France Day 3 & 4: Musee d'Orsay, Bastille Market, Opera Garnier, and Macaroons

   Our last full day in Paris was pretty laid back. We took advantage of not having Connor with us and slept in and had a late breakfast at the hotel. I don't think we even got out of the hotel until close to 11. Our first stop was Musee d'Orsay since we didn't get to go in the day before.
