Keeping cool...at the Potomac Woods pool

Today we joined the Nichols family at the pool uptown.  This pool has essentially the best kid area I've ever seen.  I am so glad that the family has memberships, because we love to swim, and Caroline loves the time with her cousins.

The girls played and splashed.  Caroline is still fearless and will just wander off and jump in.  I am definitely not in a state where I can jump up and chase her all over, so we were very grateful to have had so many helping hands.   O was also practicing her bubble blowing.  She will be a fish next summer.

Rhys played in the water a ton, but I didn't get any shots of him.  Just this one.  So solemn.

Keeping cool, last weekend

Caroline and I had a fun play date last weekend!  We headed to the Nashes to play with Nolan and Ellie, and were joined by the Shens and the newlyweds Amanda and Merv!

Not too many photos from the day, but we sure enjoyed the backyard and the playrooms.  And the company of course.

Ranjit was a HUGE FAN of the spray pool.  Huge fan.  It was awesome.

Then Sunday we joined O and the gang for a visit to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.  There was mostly this...

And some of this (jumping)...

So basically that is it.  At least we weren't in the 190,000 degree heat!

Caroline lately...

Some iPhone photos from the 4th and beyond!

Hotdogs and cookies at the Palisades Picnic. Our new neighborhood park is amazing!

And more celebrating with the Nichols clan. 

All in all a great weekend. 

Now we wait for Caroline's sissy to arrive. 

Airplanes landing

Watching the airplanes land while wearing pajamas and digesting munchkins makes Caroline smile.
