Pool Party

Today Alexander was invited to a pool party over his friend Christina's house! He was quite excited to see his friends after being out from school for the week. I was expecting him to be swimming in the pool the entire time but he found a water shooter and was connected to that for the afternoon.He had a blast hanging out with Christina & Sean for most of the day and at one point, the water fight became kids vs. adults. And the kids did fairly well for themselves!

Heat Wave...

Today was another scorcher. It definitely felt a lot hotter than yesterday. We were all sweating so we broke out the kiddie pool again. The water was super cold but because it was so hot out but man, did it feel good once you got used to it! Alexander had a feel day playing around, thankfully this little one is not afraid of the water. He was splashing like a mad-man and even plopping down in the water to make more waves (which in turn helped to keep Mommy cool).

We also went over to Neighbor Jon's because he has a mini pool for his kids. We put Alexander in for a little bit to see what his reaction would be - and he loved it! He loved being swayed from side to side in the water. It very well might be time to sign the kid up for lessons or at least a Y membership.

Splish Splash...

Today was the first day really hot day (above 90*) and we took full advantage! After running errands with Daddy (Mommy had a baby shower for a friend), Alexander came home and jumped in our pool. Okay, 'pool' is a bit of an exaggeration. I bought a plastic kiddie pool for him so he has a way of cooling off, as it's supposed to be 90* for the next 3 days.

While it was HOT out, the water was a bit on the very chilly side as we didn't let it sit in the sun (our snow tree was shedding) because we didn't want things falling in the water. As you can tell by the white things on the grass, we're about to have our annual Snow in June "party" that I despise so much. As for the temperature of the water, Alexander didn't seem to mind a bit! This kid loves the water. He got in and immediately started splashing and checking things out.

He loved playing with his shovel type thing and flinging water around. He was happy as a clam splashing around. We'll bring him back out tomorrow so he can have more fun splishing & splashing!
