All Summer In a Day

We smashed all of summer's wonderful things into one beautiful day yesterday. A quiet early morning followed by lunch picnic at the pool. The girlsn dove right back into the water this year with little hesitation. Naomi was pretty insistent about being able to doggie paddle the whole length of the pool by herself, just using one of the barbell floats Lillian wanted a little more hands on support but happily lapped at the water as she trundled around. After lunch , we spent an hour at the kiddie pool where the girls were on their own, lounging and splashing and approaching other kids to ask to share toys.  Here is Naomi the supermodel, lounging on daddy. 

Lillian the water baby


We took a quick nap at home and then left for Memphis kiddie Park, The most magical parking lot in the universe.  The magic hasn't worn off since last year and both girls dashed into the park cackling with excitement. They rode the roller coaster by themselves this year and had fun with Jack and Ivy. They rode each ride in the park happily handing their tickets to the attendant even buckling themselves in.

Lillian and Ivy.  They kind of like each other. 

Our brave little daredevils, all with their hands In the air. 




And, as if there hadn't been enough excitement ,we stopped on the way home for ice cream. 


 

On the ride home Naomi said "We haven't even been to the zoo yet!"
