Independance Day 2008

The morning of July 4th we got up and I fed the girls breakfast while john went to get on-line to do some work stuff. As soon as he returned, we headed out to the beach to play. By Friday, it had gotten much warmer, but it was still nice for July. Not long after we had gotten out there, Mason and Christian came down, and were soon followed by Daddy, Katrina, the Bartons, and the Mauros. All of the kids had a blast playing in the ocean. Emily even got brave enough for me to take her out in the waves with the big kids. She really enjoyed riding the waves. In addition to the water, we played in the sand a lot and had a great time. Once it was getting to much for the babies, I took them back to the condo and John stayed with Emily for some more fun in the sun.

Chillin at Marn's Pool

On Saturday morning, John was still out of town, so the girls and I got read and drove over to Marna's house. Her and Jim were at the beach for the weekend, however they said we could use their pool. Where we arrived, Katrina was there to greet us. We all walked around to the back, lathered up with some more sun screen, and then headed towards the pool. Daddy had arrive, so he also helped us in getting the little ones in to the pool. Due to the major heat waver that has been going in, the water was quite comfortable. Ansley thoroughly enjoyed riding around the pool in her float and being carried by all of us. Bailey on the other had was a little discontent. She loved the water, but it is somewhat frustrating to her since she wants to be able to do what ever she wants. In a little bit, Leslie and Blake arrived and joined us in the pool. He was much the same way as Bailey in the he did not want to be in a float.

In a little bit, Daddy and Bailey went to McDonalds and Little Ceasars to get lunch. When they got back we ate and then got back in the pool for just a little bit. During this time, Leslie, Blake, and Emily all rode around the pool on a raft having a great time. Bailey played with Grandaddy, while Bailey decided to sprawl out on a noodle with Grandmommy. It was too cute to see her stretched out just holding her noodle behind her head.

Cooling off in the Heat June 6, 2008

Late this afternoon, the girls and I got on our bathing suits and played in the sprinkler. With our unusual heat waver, it was nice to do something cool. The girls had a great time. I also had the bubble machine going while was what Ansley played with most. Bailey and Emily each enjoyed taking containers and filling them with water. Emily kept dumping hers down the slide, where Bailey liked to drink hers.
