POOL PARTY 2

As I promised, here are more pictures from the pool party on Saturday. When we got ready to go outside and eat on the patio, the drizzle of rain came. We still sat out under the umbrella on the table. We were planning on getting wet anyway and it wasn't cold, so we stayed and ate there. The rain continued, but we made the best of it.

Really, Audrey was the only one that didn't get wet. She sat in her holder and Jay put a big umbrella over her. She never even knew it was raining. She just went right to sleep while the rest of us played in the pool and the rain.
We had many goofy things going on in the pool. Jennifer and Gage were trying to push each other under or see who could splash who. I took pictures with lots of rain spots on the camera. DD did a lot of floating and teasing whenever he could. Emma made a train with the noodles. Angie was the cabbose and Emma was the engine. Adrian said he was Thomas. I didn't get that until he said: Thomas The Train! Silly Grandma!!!
After lots of pool time we came in and played games. Oliver, the cat, thought this was great. He made himself right at home on Adrian's towel. He fell asleep while Adrian checked out the rules of the game.

At last everyone was awake and ready for the ice cream cookies. Now it was Grandma's turn to hold Audrey. We had lots of fun just sitting and watching the lights on the ceiling and anything else that caught our eye!

What a Wonderful Time at The Pool With Family!

POOL PARTY

On Saturday we had a family pool party. Many of our family were not able to come due to vacation plans or having to work. We still had a great time in spite of the rain! Today I am going to feature Emma and Adrian and then do more from the party tomorrow. We don't get to see Emma and Adrian as much as we would like, so it was a special treat to have a whole day with them.

Emma was a little afriad of the water at first, but then we couldn't get her out of it. She could swim with her swimmies. The rain didn't bother her...who could tell when you were so wet anyway?

Adrian was a big ham. He had us all laughing at the things he would do and say. He was especially glad he had eaten the hamburger grandpa made him because, "Now I have energy to walk on my tippy toes in the water!"
Later we got them to come inside for some games in the living room. Adrian had gotten a couple of games for his past birthday and they played those for a long time! At the end of the day, we all had ice cream cookies. Adrian kept saying, "These are yummy! These are yummy! I want THREE!!!" Jennifer told him, "No, you can't have three." He said, "Yes, I can. Grandpa says!!!"

Utah Views and Sights

We are in Utah for our summer trip. Actually, we are here to celebrate Darrell's mom's 80th birthday. I will be adding some pictures of that soon. We landed in Salt Lake City and went to find some place to eat. We went to a deli and sat outside. This is the view we had from there!
On Sunday we celebrated the birthday with a picnic at Canyon View Park. It is common for all the cousins to play a game of baseball. Here they are playing with the mountains in the background. Isn't it beautiful?

There was a small stream flowing right by our picnic spot. The kiddos thought that was perfect for stepping through, finding crabs, and splashing. What a great place to celebrate Father's Day and also an 80th birthday!

I am doing my blogging today at my neice's house. Check out The Anderson Family blog for more pictures!!! Thanks, Annalyse!!!
