Weekend

This past weekend we went to Moorhead, MN to visit our friends Mike and Emily Olson. They have a daughter Lily and all the girls played great together. Emily and Lily especially had a good time playing outside in the baby pool. On Saturday morning we got a babysitter and the 4 of us went golfing; we had a great time. The babysitter survived, too, and even offered to come back sometime! When we arrived home from golf she had them all eating lunch peacefully; that's more than I can say half the time! That afternoon Em and I took the girls to a pool and park in the neighborhood while the guys played another round of golf -- Jeremy had his best round ever and scored a 77. Way to go, honey! On Sunday we drove all the way to North Dakota to go to this huge playground. Ok, if you don't know, Moorhead, MN and Fargo, ND are right next to each other; it was really only about 10 minutes away.

Yesterday we broke out one of Emily's birthday presents (her birthday was 3 months ago) -- a new little frog pool. It took a good half hour getting the pool blown up, swimsuits on, sunscreen applied, water into the pool, . . . . you know how it is! Emily of course wanted to hold the hose while the the pool was filling. It was all fun and games until she accidentally put the hose with the cold water coming out onto Bri, who wasn't too thrilled with that. Then by the time everything was ready they didn't even care about the pool anymore! Until we put the slide into the pool, then Emily had a good time. Bri was more content roaming around the yard and playing in her playhouse.
