Day 5

Today we went to the Splash Park and Outdoor Aquatic Center at the YMCA with our friends and neighbors Melissa, Kelly and Chad. Haley, Kelly and Chad spent most of the time in the big pool because it is the warmest of all the water, surprisingly enough! They did enjoy the splash park on several occasions as well and made sure to hit each and every water spot in follow the leader (aka, Chad!) style. Mikaela and I spent a short time in the big pool and Mikaela kept trying to swim to Haley to give her hugs. It's so cute. Mikaela is very comfortable in the water! She knows to shut her mouth, kicks her feet and puts her arms out. She has even blown bubbles in the water! It's quite amazing actually. I am going to see if the Y has mommy & me swim lessons because she is definitely ready!

Mikaela spent a little time in the baby pool and a little time in the splash park, but mostly, she likes to climb on the chairs and walk around and get into everyone's stuff! (Usually, stuff that isn't even ours!) She went from Haley to Chad, and finally to Kelly begging for food. She was able to get about half of sissy's banana and a slice of Kelly's apple. (As Mikaela climbed into Kelly's chair Kelly said the cutest thing ever! She said, "Me and Haley love Mikaela." So sweet!) Unfortunately, all 3 kids were eating some type of peanut butter cracker at some time which she was not allowed to have. This left her standing in from of them shaking her head yes vigorously!! She is so darn cute. She also polished off a bag of cheese nips, had some animal crackers and juice and then insisted on having some of mommy's water as well. It was a super fun day and it couldn't have been more gorgeous! I just enjoyed having some adult conversation with Melissa! :)

























I had to add this to the blog! Haley was outside in the garage playing with her friend Kasey and she came in and said, "Me pretty!" all silly! I look up and this is what I see! haha This kid is too silly!
