Soakin Up the Sun

We have been super busy these days soaking up all the sunshine July has had to offer! It's been a sweaty few weeks around here but we've been busy and having a lot of fun.
Wherever we go, we head out with sunscreen and sandals--or we decide to let our toes air out: I have a serious obsession with this girl's toes! How can they be so cute???

Last week Clementine and I went to a Friday afternoon concert on the lawn at the library. We packed a lunch and found a shady spot on the grass. It was so much fun dancing to the music and munching on our picnic!

Of course, we practically live at our favorite park even when the weather is bad. Now that the sun is shining we're there even more!

A few weekends ago I dragged Cam to the Highland Games in Mt. Vernon. It was the hottest day we've had so far this month. Needless to say, we kept this adventure short and sweet!

Clem wasn't so sure about the bagpipes (I love bagpipes) but I think she liked this enormous drum. Or maybe it was the men in kilts.....

One thing I *KNOW* she liked was watching the animals. There were pony rides there (she was too little to do that this year, but she watched!), sheep being shepherded by real sheep dogs (this was hilarious and reminded me of that movie Babe), highland cows and a booth sponsored by the Humane Society with adoptable dogs and cats.

Here are the Highland cows that we just felt terrible for. Did I mention how hot it was?? It was very very hot. And these guys are so furry! They didn't seem too bothered by the heat.
