Sad Start to Summer

The weather here is a bit crazy. It will be nice a few days then stormy a few and then nice again. It's kind of annoying b/c we go a little crazy being stuck inside all day. Libby and I have some new friends and we have started hanging out with them a little more. Libby is so excited to see Emmie and squeals for joy, but then they don't really play together (unless stealing each other's toys, snacks, and sippy cups counts as playing). It's kind of funny watching their interactions. Anyways, Monday morning was really nice (72* by 9:30 am) so we took the girls to the Splash Park. The water should've been on when we arrived, but it was broken or something, so the kids were playing in the puddles left from the day before for 20 minutes or so. All the kids there that early were about 2 yrs or under, which was nice. Libby thought it was hilarious to see the other kids stomp in the water and really enjoyed splashing in it too. Some of the kids were climbing the playground/big toy thing and Libby finally decided she was brave enough to do it by her self. As soon as she got to the platform where the slides were, the water turned on without warning. The platform has 3 water shoots that come up from where she was standing. I ran up there as fast as I could, but she was traumatized. It was so sad. She was soaked, crying and shaking for probably 10 minutes. That was all the water she played in. Emmie had a great time though and it was fun to watch her run through the water. I think Libby was starting to warm up to the idea of playing in the water near the end. She would walk around the outside of the water area and then run back to me, but if I tried to help her touch the water she would cling to me and hold her legs up as high as she could so it was impossible to put her down.  We're gonna keep going back once the weather is nice again and hope she decides it's okay. If not, at least I'll get a good walk in and some time to chat with the other moms. I was too busy holding Libby to get a picture of her in her cute swimsuit.

new words this week: Emmie, peaches, honey, milk. I don't remember if i mentioned before, but Libby loves to pray. She walks around the house with her arms folded saying "amen" over and over again. It's probably the cutest thing she does. It makes me so happy.

We're going camping today with Julie & Michael. It'll be the first time camping with Libby! wish us luck! It's suppose to rain tonight of course, but it looks lovely right now, maybe we'll luck out! (fingers crossed). We'll post about how it goes next week.
