Safety First!!

You all know that Ava has a sassy little 4-wheeler that she likes to ride, when the mood strikes her. I had to get her a helmet because that little thing is surprisingly quick and well, a helmet is just good sense, right? Here she is, showing off the helmet for Grandma and Grandpa Kingma. She thinks its just another item for dress-up play and I think that's why she tolerates it. :)

One Cool Kid

Ava's a big fan of glasses but most especially sunglasses. With her tiny little nose its not easy to keep them on her face but here our neighbor Sherry stuck them through her piggies to help Ava out. She wore them for a good ten minutes while hanging out on Sherry's lap. :) We were spending some time in their backyard by their new pool, another something that Ava liked. She didn't play long in the pool because it was cool but she'll be back for seconds. She's a big fan of the public pool in Brandon because it has a real gentle slope where she can stand in hardly any water and it doesn't get too deep for her. There are little jets of water shooting straight up and out of the cement that she likes to splash through and try to "catch" the water droplets. We're hoping for a nice day soon when we can go into Sioux Falls to the Splash Park that we've heard so much about, no pool just sprinklers and shooting water all around.
