End of July!

July 2012

 

Aunt S and family moved this summer from Virginia to Morrisville for Uncle E to work for Duke. We headed their way to check out the new rental...with a neighborhood pool.

 

 We're all here...1,2,3,4.

 

 We're ready to go!

 It's so hot!

 

 I ordered her bathing suit (stars and stripes), but it hadn't arrived yet. She's a little upset.

 It's the middle of summer at a huge swimming pool with water slide and there's no storm in sight. We're practically the only ones there! Me and the kids with S and her kids.

 It was hilarious to see H falling sleep while sitting up in her stroller. As soon as she reclined, she was out.

 E built up the courage to go down the water slide all by herself. She loved it and we were so excited for her. Cousin L was a big support!

We were not so thrilled when later that afternoon we all of a sudden couldn't find O. Scan the pool. Start to get nervous. Check the bathroom. Scan the pool. I am officially nervous. Call his name and scan the pool side. Aunt S says, He's on the water slide! Standing on the platform, high above our heads, O was about to throw himself down the slide. I called his name and took off running across the pool side as he plopped into the top of the slide. Run...Run... Just as O shot out of the tube and frantically tried to stay afloat, I reached the edge and jumped in to save his overconfident newly four year old self. What was he thinking? So, before I reached out to help him, I gave him a few desperate seconds to realize that maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

Aunt S- You looked just like a Bay Watch Babe!

Me- Yeah...that's the look I was going for.
