The apartment complex we live in has two pools and our family spent most of June swimming in the one closest to our unit. To date, there has only been one time when there was anyone else at the pool, so it has been like having our own pool. Byron even took to taking the kids swimming after work - which they have loved. We haven't done it in a while since it has gotten too hot in the evenings (which is so weird). However, it is starting to cool off a bit and I think we will need to get in some more pool time. This particular pool party was in June and Byron took the kids swimming by himself while I had a singing lesson and Robert went to a teen party. When I got home, the kids were having a blast.
We decided to go and get a good hamburger for dinner and headed off to the Red Robin at the mall (which is about a mile away ... I love that). The kids did so well and the service was so good, we had a great time (which is unusual when we take the kids out to eat).
Even Dad had fun coloring ... which has set a bad precedent because now Ginny and Ben have decided that Dad is here solely for coloring their pictures. Josh, on the other hand, has discovered that he really likes to color and is doing a really good job!
So after the yummy strawberry lemonade and hamburgers, we decided to stroll the mall and just see what was there. We found a Gymboree that definitely has the right idea about kids and shopping. We walked into the store and kids made a bee line for the back of the store where there was a huge telelvision playing cartoons ... they didn't even move, just stared blankly at the screen.
The bench also made for a nice photo - fun night!
