Cool Pool Parties!

Sunday, July 18, 2010

'Tis the season for splishing, splashing and otherwise enjoying a dip in the pool. And this week we've been dipping and dunking so much our fingers are almost permanent raisins!

Last week, Ruby (our niece/cousin) turned the ripe old age of 3, so we went down for her party. SO fun! What a sweet gal. Here she is, with her amazing cake:



Bethany loved "helping" with the presents!



And then we had a yummy BBQ (seriously the BEST hamburger I've had all year!) and the dads took the big girls for a swim--James and Tracee have a swimming pool in their community HOA:



Needless to say, Bethany slept all the way home. But after a couple of days, as temperatures rose, we just had to take another dunk. So we invited Cambrie over for a little swimming party in the backyard. The girls had a lot of fun--other than the little fact that Bethany was in a "I want to splash BIG!" mood and Cambrie was in a "Don't splash me!" mood. I think they had a lot of fun anyway--especially when we broke out the bathtime Barbies!





And since THAT was so much fun, well, we just had to get in the pool again the next day and swim for 2-3 HOURS. Bethany simply couldn't get enough!



Yep, she slept well that night, too. And then the couple of days after that, we went with our FSA friends to the Logan Aquatic Center. Yep, it's a season for splishing and splashing, and we're nowhere NEAR being done! Good thing I like raisins and don't mind a few wrinkles, right?

Man, I LOVE summmer.
