The sweetest girl ever!!

Silly boy found something to chew on while he swims!

We were so excited to see Juju today and spend time with her, nana and pop! We first met up at Pump it Up and jumped our hearts out. The girls had a blast trying everything out together. Bradley loved the slide and we did it MANY times! We were at Pump It Up for about an hour and then left to go swimming at Gege and Papa's house. It turned out to be such a nice day and it was kinda muggy outside, so the pool felt wonderful! The girls stayed in the pool for about 4 hours and got a little too much sun, but they had so much fun together. They argued about very important things, like what "Patrick" from Spongebob's color is, or what to name Gege's new donkey. Rachel decided on: "Seashell from the lost boy whose name will take him far". I'm totally not kidding here! I have NO idea why she came up with that name or where it came from. Julia decided on "fish" for the donkey. That became a huge argument since both girls thought their names were right. There were many more little incidences like this, but overall, the cousins just LOVED being together. Bradley was in and out of the pool at his own whim and he probably swam a total of 45 minutes the whole day! But, he had a great time doing his own thing. Gege bought him a new life jacket thing for babies and he sorta tolerated it for about 10 minutes. He laugh/cried while he had it on. I think he liked the buoyant feel, but still wasn't sure he liked the extra padding on his chest and back. He ended the day playing in the bottom cabinet of the GRILL! He found out that he could open the doors and sit in it. So, Gege and Papa are definitely going to have to move it away from the pool so that the next time it's used and is HOT for several hours as it cools down, Bradley won't try to climb into the cabinet!

What a fun day!!!

We can't wait to see our sweet Lane family as soon as possible...

hopefully for Bradley's birthday!!!
