Mangoes & Skating

We were able to fill our summer up with a few getaways that were prefect for escaping the intense heat here in AZ and a great time to collect a bunch of new photos along this way.

While we were at the beach in Mexico, a guy pulled up a cart with a big rainbow umbrella and parked it pretty close to where we'd set up camp. We saw him carving up mangoes and turning them into a beautiful flower on a stick. How could we resist??





Keeping with a bit of Mexican food flair, he added chile powder and lime to one of the mangoes. Such a cool combination. Of course, the kids liked it plain, but I was up for the new flavor combo.


Another fun thing we did this summer was to ride a gondola up a steep mountain at Squaw Valley, CA to get to the site of the 1960 Winter Olympic Games. There was a roller skating rink at the top of the mountain. How cool is that?

We even had the rink to ourselves for most of our skating time. I'll be honest, I didn't lace any skates onto my feet. I wanted to be injury free for the rest of our vacation and I wasn't sure I could trust myself out on the rink. There were a few falls, but luckily, no major injuries. Success!






 I'm lucky to have the new Glitz 6 X 6 paper pads, so I mixed in a bit of the new Cashmere Dame line with the Happy Travels line on both of these layout. I'm loving how well these lines go together. Teal and yellow together are one of my favorite color combos! Can't wait to get the full new lines!
