We have had a very eventful summer. Southern CA is a great place to be for fun things to do. So far this summer we have:
*Gone to the Del Mar Fair: rode rides, ate delicious food, saw shows
*Gone to an Angels Baseball game: the actual game part might not have thrilled Megan, but she liked the food and the singing and dancing and being outside
*Gone to the San Diego Zoo (a few times): when Grandpa and Grandma Dick were here they got us season passes. We've already gotten our moneys worth. Megan especially loves the petting zoo part and feeding the birds (she is not afraid one bit when they land right on her).
*Gone to an Air Force museum and walked around all the planes
*Gone to the Wild Animal Park (another big hit)
*And more....

Megan is potty trained. YAY! We have had several milestones the past couple of weeks for our family (crawling for Nathan, riding a two-wheeler bike for Caelan and potty training for Megan). She was my easiest - so far. We got her some new panties. We showed her the potty. We focused really good for about three days...and BAM - she had it. She still wears a pull-up to bed, but most mornings she is dry and goes potty first thing, so I don't think those will last very long. She wasn't very resistant to the idea at all (even from the beginning). She got it quick, and so far we've been doing really well (even when we aren't at home).
This photo is one day when she wanted to try and go potty before she took her "rest." I came into the bathroom within a couple of minutes and she was falling asleep on the toilet.

We went to a Park in Long Beach for the 4th of July (with the whole extended Taylor family). Megan got to try her strength at whacking a pinata for the first time. At first she wasn't quite sure what to do with it, but after some encouragement she got the hang of it. We had a yummy barbeque, the kids played on the playground, a family game of baseball commenced, we ate homemade ice cream, and just lounged around in the shade of the trees.
