It has been hot, hot, hot here, so I decided to pull out our baby pool and let Hannah try the water for the first time. The kids had a blast and Parker was a good sport sitting in the "baby pool" with Hannah. They probably stayed entertained in the pool for about 30 minutes and it was really fun watching them interact with each other.
Hannah was all about the water and exploring and cared nothing about looking at the camera for a picture.
Hannah had reached her limit with water fun, so I toweled her off and let her sit in the chair for just a bit while Parker enjoyed splashing in the pool - hah!
After we all cleaned up from pool time, Parker came back out to enjoy his water table. I just got this about 2 weeks ago, and Parker loves it!
One Friday night, we went to a Braves games with the kids - yes, I said a Friday night and with the kids - hah! A good friend of mine, that I work with, their family has season tickets to the Braves. They weren't using them for this particular game, so she asked me if I would be interested in going. At first I was going to say no, because it was a 7pm game and we would have to take the kids, but then I thought we could at least give it a try.
So, off we headed to the Braves game with the kids and guess what - it rained the entire way there to the game. Luckily, by game time, the rain had stopped though - thank goodness, but there were showers all around all night (see the dark clouds behind the Braves sign). As you can see - we had great seats! We were right behind where all the scouts sit, about 15 rows up, right behind home plate.
Hannah was fascinated by everything she was seeing for the first time - it was priceless! She did cry one time, the very first time the Braves got a hit and the crowd went crazy. She wasn't a fan of all the loud noise, but she got accustomed to it fairly quickly.
Everything was going great with the game, except during the 3rd inning, the entire stadium lost power. Yes, lost power - we couldn't believe it! So, there was about a 25 minute delay before all the lights were restored, so that 25 minutes seemed like 2 hours with 2 little kiddos - hah! Luckily, they got it resolved and the game resumed.
We stayed at the game until about 10:30 and the kids were exhausted. Hannah fell asleep in my arms and Parker's eyes were so tired, he could barely keep them open.
Sweet pic of Hannah and Daddy (this was right before she went to sleep)
Me and my little man right before we left the game. Poor thing was so tired (look at his eyes). We got home about midnight and luckily both kids went right to sleep and both slept in until 8am the next morning! Even though it was a late night, we had a great time and we were so thankful we got to go and have a fun experience with the kids.
About a week ago, my favorite place to eat, Chick-fil-A, had Cow Appreciation Day. If you dressed like a cow, you got a free meal! Hello . . . I will never pass up an opportunity to go to Chick-fil-A, especially when it's free - hah!
So, I made cow shirts for the kids. I used a white t-shirt they had and I cut out black construction paper spots and pinned them on their shirts. I thought they looked really cute!
We headed to Chick-fil-A and both kids got a free kids meal (I ate Hannah's). The place was packed, so we had to eat pretty quickly, but it was lots of fun!
