August Fun

I am so far behind in blogging. And I'm also pretty sure I begin each blog with that statement.

 

Mid- August Nana and Niki came to LR for a quick weekend visit. While they were here they played hard and got to see the girls swim their little hearts out. Emily finally fell in love with the big pool and she, daddy, and Caroline had a BIG time learning to jump off the side, go down the slide, and on this particular day Emily felt brave enough to jump off of the diving bored for the first time. She was wild and free...not a care in the world! And she loved it. Caroline on the other hand was a bit more reserved and watched Emily do it first- then decided she HAD to follow suite. She IS the big sister after all:) Brad was proud as can be. I was a nervous wreck. BUT they loved it and sent the swimming season out in style!

One huge surprise that weekend was that Brad had arranged to sweep me away for a MUCH needed night away. We were able to spend an evening and night out alone without the crew. We had dinner, went to The Crown Plaza, slept in (until 9:00...that's late!!), had a leisurely breakfast at Dunkin Donuts, ran a few errands and returned home. It was nice to get some 1 on 1 time with the hubs. Thanks Nana and Niki for keeping the girls for us...I'm pretty sure they didn't even know we had left.
