Fun with friends

We live 10 minutes from the Medieval Times in Maryland. We have a few friends who we knew in California living here, too. When my mom came into town we asked her to watch Mina and our friend's baby, Regi, so we could all go to Medieval times! It was a blast! Our knight didn't win (typical). But, we were able to get free royalty upgrades so we sat right in the front and had a couple of other added bonuses. It was fun and Mom I promise I'll take you one day!!!

We decided to go bowling one day and when I went to get Mina to go, I noticed she had a pen and was drawing all over her foot, shoe and leg. What a nerd. Told you she loves to draw. We had a lot of fun bowling. Mina had a blast. They had little slides for kids to set there balls on to push so that the ball goes straight. Mina would push the ball then quickly run to the side so she could see. It seemed as if she would lean to the side that she wanted the ball to go and then she'd say "ooooooooh." It was so fun to watch her bowl!






When she wasn't bowling she was either "helping out" with Regi or trying to steal stuff out of his diaper bag. Never leave a bag unattended when Mina is around. She loves Relief Society meetings because there are so many purses to go through. Oh Mina.

We decided to test out Mina's ability to sit through a movie in the theater. We took her to see Toy Story 3. She did well for the most part. Aside from getting red slushy all over my mom and dropping her sippie cup to have it roll down under three rows of seats, we only had to take her out twice. As long as there was action taking place on screen, she was good. But, we probably won't be taking her back any time soon.

We spent the 4th of July with my mom, the Roberson's and the White's. We had a barbecue and then walked to a field near our house to watch the fireworks show. Mina had been asleep so we woke her up to walk over there, but she was not disappointed. She watched the whole show and was so good.

We've gone to Annopolis a few times to walk around and eat. Mina loved the balloon we got from a restaurant. Unfortunately on our way into our house after returning, it got caught in our rose bush and popped. Oops. That darn rose bush. Mina fell into it once and got pretty scratched up. Poor girl.

Mina loves to play on the piano. She moved her little seat over to it to stand on and play with a spatula.
