Fun In The Summertime

So what have Briana and I been up to during this long hot summer? Well, swimming of course! My neighborhood has five swimming pools, and the one in my section of the neighborhood is super kid friendly. Briana loves it! Not because it has lots of squirting water and small slides, but because it has stairs. Stairs that she can walk up and down (with mom's help) about a 100 times. Let's just say I get a workout when me and Briana go to the pool.

Here is Briana taking a break to eat a snack. Deb gave me this adorable towel for Bri last year.

This is our super cool pool.

And this is the two piece suit that Deb also got Briana. Doug actually let her wear it, and I am so excited. He wasn't too sure about two piece suits at first, but it's adorable. That is a protective daddy for ya.

Bri loves her purple glitter shoes.

And I also joined a local MOMS group so I can meet some new people/local moms. My friend Amy B. helped me get involved. (BTW, Amy B. is going to China in a few weeks to adopt her baby girl Mary Lin. Mary Lin is three months younger than Bri, and Amy lives right around the corner from me. I am sooo excited!) I attended a cooking club/play group get together two weeks ago and Friday, I took Briana to DAC Kids. Amy told me it was a like a giant sandbox for kids. And she was right, it is literally a giant indoor sandbox. There are large inflatables too and also an inflatable toddler area that Briana enjoyed playing in. And you all know by now that Briana hated sand in FL. Well, she was hesitant at first, but she played in it! And had a great time might I add. Hurray! Beach vacation here we come! LOL!

Ladies and gentlemen, Briana in the sand.

Hope you all are having fun in the summertime too!
