American Beauty

I hope that everyone had a fun Memorial Day!  We sure did, until the rain came in.  K had to leave early yesterday morning to go get his parents from the airport, so Chloe and I decided to go to the pool a bit early, and stake out our seats for the day.  We were not going to let anyone take the best seats for soaking up the rays on Memorial Day.  So, we started out our morning by getting her all decked out in a Memorial Day outfit, bows and shows included!  Here is our American Beauty.
And, here is a close up of her shoes, because we all know that unless you have red flip flops with stars on them, you are not a true American!

After we got dressed, we headed to the pool. The closer we got to the pool, the darker it got. All I was thinking is that our day is going to be ruined. I mean, we had the bathing suit, the American Flag outfit, the bows, the shoes....... and the weather was going to ruin everything. We got to the pool 30 minutes before it opened, we went in, got our seats, and here came the rain. So we packed up our stuff (left towels out to reserve our seats), and moved into the covered patio to play. Chloe made some friends that she had fun with, and we played with bubbles. It only lasted 30 minutes, so everything turned out okay. Here she is surviving the rain storm. It did not seem to phase her.



Towards the end of our 30 minute wait, she did get a little bit frustrated because the sun was out, rain was gone, but the lifeguards were still not letting us into the water. She kept walking towards the pool, she wanted in, and it did not matter that she was not even in her bathing suit yet. Finally, K showed up, we were allowed in the water, and all we had to do was get Chloe in her bathing suit. I am just going to go out on a limb here and let ya'll know that she was the only little girl at the pool in an appropriate Memorial Day bathing suit! Here she is soaking up some rays.

We did remember to bring her some toys to play with, however she was much more interested in everyone else's toys. Once again, she had a blast in the swimming pool.




And just before it started pouring down rain, we packed up and headed home. The sun just zapped her energy!
