Pool Time

This afternoon we went to the neighborhood pool. There was one other lady sitting on a chair. Other than her, we had the whole pool to ourselves. I thought it would be packed as hot as it was today. Maybe it was too hot... Once again, I couldn't find my swimsuit. So while Matt and Kate stayed tolerably cool, I sat off to the side and melted.

Splash Pad

This afternoon we went to the splash pad. Kate and Matt had fun (I'm pretty sure I was close to a heat stroke). I didn't have a swimsuit so I just had to stand in the sun carrying the bags while sweating profusely. Someone's gotta take the pictures...

We didn't stay super long because we didn't have sunscreen with us. We did, however, stop and get Kate a pair of water shoes. I have a feeling the older Kate gets, the more she'll like the Splash Pad.

Playdate

Kate had Mary Townes and Mac over today to see the new house. Graham was supposed to come as well, but at the last minute they couldn't make it. Val, Erica and I had fun catching up while the kids played. They seemed to have a pretty good time together. I think for the first time ever, Kate was actually the kid with the most hair... barely.

We ordered pizza, so of course Kate was very happy about that. Mary Townes is a pizza girl as well. We'll have to do it again soon if everyone is willing to make the trek.

Sleepover

We picked Aniyah up this afternoon and she is spending the night with us tonight. This is Kate's first time to host a sleepover.

We had pizza and ice cream for dinner as a special treat. Kate ate more pizza than Aniyah. She's a little chunk. We had fun, but Matt and I are both exhausted tonight! Six year olds require more attention/interaction than toddlers. Aniyah wanted us to play ball for several hours straight. I think they fed them sugar or something at camp today. She had lots of energy to spare (if she can make Matt tired, that says a lot).

Too Hot Outside

We stayed inside with the AC today. It was way too hot outside for us! Kate had fun playing. She didn't even ask to turn on "Bob" (Veggie Tales) once. She's in a climbing phase right now. If she can climb it, she will. Even innocuous things such as rocking toys become dangerous. She insists on getting on her rocking worm and standing up with no hands. She also likes to climb up on the back of the chaise lounge and stand. She's about to get a crash course in physics if she's not more careful (yes Courtney, if you are reading this, pun was intended).
