Carnival Cruise - Company Summer Event

Ryan's company takes it's employee's on a weekend cruise every summer. This was Ryan's first summer with the company. Their employees also get to take their spouses on the weekend cruise. We had a lot of fun and got to know his co-workers better and had a lot of time to check out the ship. We left on Friday afternoon and were back by 8AM Monday morning. The ship left from Long Beach and made one stop on Saturday morning in Ensenada. In Ensenada we pretty much just stayed with all his co workers and bosses and had an awesome time. We even got to hold a 3 mo old lion cub. Supposedly the proceeds go to an animal sanctuary when you pay $20 got hold the cub and have pictures taken with the cub.

Miss Purple Tiger

We went to Grand Park across from our home to see Mary Poppins. It was a summer movie in the park special event. While we were waiting for the movie to start the lady that was sitting behind us happened to be a friend of a friend and faced painted Ava's face. The lady is a professional artist and had brought all her make-up to paint the local kids' faces for fun while they waited for the movie to begin. Ava requested to be a purple tiger. It came out so awesome! Charlotte didn't want to get her face painted, otherwise I would have a photo of her too. Too bad Ava had to wash her face an hour and a half later to go to bed.

Homemade Kool-Aid Play-dough

Playing with homemade Kool-Aid play-dough. It came out okay, but this particular recipe that I found online I didn't like because the dough came out too sticky. I will have to try something a little bit different; plus the dough didn't really smell that sweet like I was hoping it would.
