Swimming & Stuff From Aimee

IMG_8126 Today Olivia woke us up at 7:00. We spent the morning eating breakfast, watching Disney Jr, and reading books.

IMG_8138 Autumn kept wanting to go swim, so we finally got all suited up, slathered in sunscreen, and headed out to the pool. It was surprisingly on the cool side. While we were swimming one of Olivia’s toys went into the skimmer. I went to get it out and noticed something moving in there! It ended up being 4-6 frogs! I pulled out the skimmer and put it on the grass and they hopped away to their freedom.

Olivia started to yawn and rub her eyes several times so after swimming for a while I took her in and put her down for a nap. Then Autumn & I went back out and had a blast just swimming together. We both put on goggles and had races, watched each other do flips underwater, etc. I think she’s been feeling a little jealous of Olivia so it was good that we had some alone time.

IMG_8141 We left at 3:30 to go over to Aimee E’s house. She has been BEYOND generous and has given us A LOT of toys, clothes, shoes, etc. that her kids have outgrown. She said she had some more things to give us. It was great to catch up w/ her and her family. It’s too bad that Autumn is the size of her daughter Emily now. But we still save the clothes for Olivia or any future girls someone in our family might have. We’re so thankful for her kindness & goodness to us.

IMG_8144 Autumn said she was STARVING, so we stopped at McDonald’s and got some dinner. The girls had fun playing in this musical play area. Each of these things made noise when you stepped on them. It was cool, but I can see how it would get annoying after just a while.

IMG_8158 We didn’t stay for very long b/c Autumn wanted to go over to the mall. I said they could ride the carousel, but they were more interested in playing in the kids area. Olivia was so funny and kept stealing these Crocs from the family sitting next to us. She put them on the wrong feet, then she walked around w/ just one on for a while. She was cracking us all up! Autumn was an ANGEL and followed Olivia around to make sure she wasn’t plowed over by the bigger kids.

IMG_8164 After they played for quite a while we walked around the mall a little bit. We went in a store that said everything was only $5.99. I was looking at jewelry (of course) but we found all these super fun hats and just HAD to try them on! We ended up buying mine & Autumn’s hats b/c we loved them so much.

IMG_8167 We stopped at Sonic for half price shakes as a reward to Autumn for being such an incredible helper today. We got home and 10 minutes later Curt called to say he was out in the driveway w/ Jessie and they wanted to take Autumn to get a sno cone w/ them! When Curt brought her back he said that she just talked and talked and talked the whole way there and back. LOL! It was a fun way to end a long day!
