fun in the sun

 After work last night we packed up and had a picnic dinner at Lake Hood!  Chloe loves to watch the float planes take off, and talks about it all the time so we try to make it out there as much as we can!  It was gorgeous yesterday- 75 and sunny, so we were off!  

There are lots of other things to do at the lake too!  Like swinging!  They also have a porto-potty there that for some reason Chloe ALWAYS wants to use.  Ugh it is so gross, but she takes off running toward it when she sees it like it is an ice cream truck or something!  No pics of that as we have to chase her down before she tries to go in by herself.  Good thing I remembered the anti-bacterial wipes!
 Splashing in the lake.
 Building a sand castle with an adorable little boy.  He was probably 6 or 7, and Chloe just loved him.
 And of course watching the planes take off and land!
After our fun in the sun (and sand and water) we let Chloe have part of a chocolate chip cookie on the car ride home.  This was the outcome.  She is telling us she wants a brownie in this picture.  Sorry- I think that is enough chocolate for one night!
 Part of the fun of getting dirty is bath time to clean up!  Chloe is showing me her "helmet".  This little girl is hilarious!  Her imagination is really developing, and she is just entering the pretend play stage.  so cute!
Every stage is more and more fun.  Although I do have to point out that Chloe is entering the terrible twos.......oh yes even this adorable little girl has her days!  I wouldn't say that part of this stage is "more and more fun", but for the most part we are having a blast!
