Pool Party

Our neighbors (the ones I speak of the most because A) they live right next door and B) they are Addison's best friends in the 'hood) invited Addison to swim in their freshly blown up pool. She was napping at the time and the 3 of us were planning on going to our pool later, but after over hearing them whine, "This isn't very much fun without Addison", I just knew we couldn't let them down. I had a feeling Addison would take some time getting used to the frigid water (our pool is heated to bath water temperatures), but thought she would have fun with the kids. It was a good chance for Dustin and I to get some yard work done, too.

Of course, as chance would have it, Addison took an extra long nap that afternoon and the kids were on pins and needles just waiting for her arrival.

Once she came to the pool party, the fun began.

They called this came "4 corners".

The 6 year old and I invented a game called "Water Soccer-Lacrosse-Pong". Addison saw us playing and wanted to give it a shot herself.


No one was brave enough to stand in as her competitor. We all know how tough she is. Just look at that face!


The girls swam themselves hungry and enjoyed a nice snack. (Addison borrowed one of the girls sunglasses. She is obsessed with sunglasses!)




They had a really good time together (for nearly 3 hours) and my Petunias thanked me for the TLC.
