Daria’s Life

Yesterday was an exceptionally fun day for all of us. My Mom, Sister and her two boys headed down for a visit to enjoy our new pool and have a blast. It was certainly that! We had the best time yesterday playing in the water with all of the kids. Nathan had prepared the night before by running out to purchase a few essential floating water toys (ie: a huge water Sea Saw!).

The weather cooperated perfectly for us, in fact my Mom actually purchased a wet suit at Costco and got in with us. Our favorite new water game is “Whirlpool” where you have tons of people in the pool and you all run in the same direction in a circle. With all that activity it produces a current and when you yell “whirlpool” everybody lays back and enjoys the ride! It’s a total blast and something I hope we’ll get to do with all of our extended family this summer. (don’t miss out!)

The Sea Saw is a fine addition to our collection of water paraphernalia. Nathan and Dylan were the first to try it and man they were intense! They totally got air when they were on it. The kids played on it most of the day, but finally my Mom and I gave it a whirl. I’ve never laughed so hard, my mom was hilarious!! (way to brave it mom).

Later we had a marshmallow roast in our new fire pit. The kids were all standing around cooking theirs when Noah comes outside with a little plastic clothes hanger and a marshmallow on it!! ADORABLE! He just saw that everyone had a hanger and figured any kind would do.

All in all it was a wonderful and wild day. Andrew has stayed a few extra days to play with the kids and they’re having a blast being around each other. This is shaping up to be quite the fun summer for us!
