Summer in at full blast! Visitors alert!

I've discovered a feature on my camera that lets you just press the button and keeps taking continuous pics! that has got me taking A LOT of pics. Instead of 1000 pics I can take 4000!!! with no extra effort... just what I needed ;) Right?

Go Luca go Luca Go!!! Cheers to Luca for carrying Aurora on his back through the Sea World Nets... what a trooper :) now that's "stepping up to the plate" ;)

Aurora has been striking the funkiest yoga looking poses. She is a natural! She does the sun salutation perfectly... a real yoga master!

We've been camping, going to the beach, visited sea world and went to a failed attempt of visiting aquatica (there was lightning and the park was closed temporarily) until we got to the car of course, we heard the announcement that they had reopened. We're going to try to go again today, the park is VERY full and we are heading out around 4p hoping some people will be leaving early. Both Maria and Aurora are covered with bug bites, I've done all possible to keep them from getting bitten (loads of OFF) but apparently I will have to rethink my strategy for combating the florida bugs. Aurora is ALMOST done with potty training, only 1 accident last week which I think is pretty cool~!
The grass is growing at a very fast rate! Luca is having to work on the grass at least once a week. We've been going in the pool quite a bit, Aurora I consider now to be "water safe" although she insists on swimming standing up which I can't figure out how to correct. Other than that she has another week of lessons and then she should be done for the summer. We are VERY excited with the myriad of visitors coming in July, August & September. First my dad is coming towards the beginning of July! and Maria can't wait :)

then towards the end her cousins come and grandma Moops! Beginning of August brings Aunt Anto, Giussepi, Luis, Gi and Giu!!!
September brings Hanita's very own Aunt Drey :) and she just can't wait for all you guys to come and brighten up our days.

She has been counting down for 100s of days!

so... here are a few mixed pics and hopefully

we will have more as the visitors arrive.
