Our First Pogo Pass Outing! {Seaquest Aquarium}


Schools officially out for the summer, and with that comes the anxiety of how to entertain the kiddos every.single.day.  Although Nolan isn't in school full time, those two days a week definitely make a difference with him getting out of the house, socializing and just having fun!  So, with summer officially upon us, I couldn't be more thankful to have our Pogo Passes to use!  

The Pogo Pass is an annual membership pass that grants you admission into some of the best attractions in our city.  Each of our family members has their own pass, and is easily accessible through our phones as we visit each venue.  For Las Vegas, some venues include the Springs Preserve, Cowabunga Bay, Discovery Children's Museum, Bouncy World, admission to 51s games, and the recently added Glow Zone.  Some of these are favorites to visit a couple times a year for our family, and the discounted rate by using our Pogo Passes is amazing!

Here's the Scoop: Acelyn's Ice Cream Party 2nd Birthday!


Acelyn's 2nd birthday party snuck right up on me this year... how in the world can my baby be turning TWO already!?  Because she has such a sweet tooth, and one of my absolute favorite words she says is "ic-sh guppies" (ice cream), we decided to throw her an ice cream themed birthday party.  I decided to venture outside our norm of throwing the kids' birthday parties at our house, and set up at a local park and splash pad, which was actually perfect and easy in so many ways!  We chose our favorite one, with fun fountains and one of Acelyn and Nolan's favorite park structures to play at.

Acelyn's "Sweet" 2-Year Birthday Pictures


For Acelyn's second birthday, we decided to throw an ice cream and sprinkles party theme, since it's one of her favorite things to eat and, even better, one of my favorite words she says currently (Ice cream = "Icesh-guppies!"  Why guppies, I have no idea.. but it's friggin' adorable).  

To get in the party theme, I decided to give her an ice cream photoshoot... complete with sprinkles and a huge, huge mess!  These might be some of my favorite pictures of her yet.  Of course we couldn't leave Nolan out of such a fun photoshoot, so he joined in with his ice cream, too.  Acelyn definitely enjoyed herself, and wore her ice cream quicker than she could eat it!  The good news: no stains after an immediate soaking and a really happy 2-year old who took an amazing nap as soon as we got home. 

I can't believe my baby is turing TWO!  We can't wait to celebrate her big day with an ice cream party this weekend with our family and friends.  Until then, try not to drool while looking through these yummy pictures!
