Eight Days A Week

That's how often she'd love to have swimming lessons. She asked about them yesterday, but all the water we had to offer was that at the fountain with her cousin. Today we satisfied her with a fun family day at a very crowded Wilson Pool. She was excited to "play" swim lessons and teach us all her tricks.

Watch Out Boys

At one point during his visit, CJ's cousin said "Hey, Dude" to CJ.

Her response was "Girls aren't dudes. You can call me woman!"

Wow...

The Fountain

After enjoying a popsicle in their newly-crafted crowns...

we took the prince and princess to Jamison Fountain for a bit of splashing (and some SOAT, of course) before Cousin O and Grandma headed home on the train.

Thanks for visiting. It was fun.

Penguin Prize

CJ woke up at 6:30 this morning to remind Mama that she hadn't gotten her prize for completing her penguin swimming lessons in stellar form. A new set of pink pots and pans for her pink kitchen.

Cousin O Goes to the Zoo

CJ was so excited that Grandma and Cousin O came down on the train yesterday. After a trip to the burrito store and a good night's sleep, we hit the zoo. There was much fun riding MAX there, posing on animal statues, petting a cockroach (sorry Aunt A!), a long ride on the zoo train, seeing Grandma feed the birds, viewing the monkeys while they wrestled with each other, watching the bats eat their fruit, petting the baby goats and taking MAX back home. Luckily we caught a glimpse of the baby elephant from the train because he was hiding when we got to that exhibit. We followed all that excitement with some swim lessons and pizza and ice cream at CJ's favorite restaurant.

The Faerie House

Here's CJ showing off the faerie house she made during summer camp at her preschool. She was so proud of it and happy to show it to Mama and Daddy when we picked her up.

Here's The New Suit

We've got a warm week forecasted here and shortly after we finally got dressed for the day we went outside to water the plants. It didn't last long before CJ went inside and changed into her suit for some elephant sprinkler fun.
