Practicing

We knew that we'd be going on two fabulous trips in August: to the Jersey Shore with the Yurasko side of the family and the mountains with the Grimmer side of the family. Christopher and I agreed that Alexandra needed some practice for both of these upcoming trips.

To practice for the beach, we tried to keep a hat on Alexandra for a little while each day, so that she'd be used to it when we got to the beach. This worked out really well. Not only was she a good hat-wearer at the beach, but I was delighted to be able to see her in her hats. Here are a couple of my favorite hat shots.

To practice for the mountains, we went on a hike to Great Falls. Alexandra did great in the hiking back pack. Here are some shots of Alexandra and Christopher admiring the falls.

All of this practicing is exhausting!
