Price Lake Picnic with the Family

All of the photos in this section were taken by Ava's Blade.

July 3 at Lake James

Here, Ava is celebrating her independence by floating around the swimming area at Lake James State Park.

Posing with Uncle Landon.

With Daddy.

With Mommy.

Here she is collecting her buckets and shovel to play in the sand.

And here she is taking a much-needed nap before we moved to the picnic area to grill dinner.

Kool Park

The quality of these photos may not be as high as some of the others on this page. These were taken with a disposable underwater camera using actual film. I don't know if you can even still buy those anymore.

Here she is standing in line with Daddy for a ride on the slide.

And here she is riding the water slide with Mommy.

Chuck at Play

Playing on the trampoline she got from her Uncle Duck.

And in the ball pit at Wah-wah and Pop's house.

Babies in the Park

Maddo and Chuck sharing a swing in Blowing Rock.

Happy Chuck enjoying her swing.

Maddo is having fun too.

She also likes the slide.

Dude takes a turn on the climbing wall.

Bathtime

Yes, she and Daddy have watched "Gummo" one too many times. This happens nearly every time he washes her hair. When he's done, she smiles and says, "GUMMO!"

Here's another bathtime hairdo for little Punk Babies everywhere.

She loves to brush her teeth. The secret is an Elmo toothbrush and strawberry flavored toothpaste.

In her "gown" and ready for bed.

She's a Menace

This is her new tricycle. She prefers to ride without pants.
