Swimming @ Rick & Vickie's...

After Eva finished w/ her nap, we (Grace, Eva & I – Mattie was stuck working due to the storms that came through last night) headed over to Rick & Vickie’s to go swimming! Grace had only asked like 100 times since Vickie said we could the day before… the water was a little cold but both girls had a GREAT time!

Eva cried when she first got in the water – it was a little chilly but the temp outside was like 85 & once you were in the water it was fine. Eva was actually braver than Grace; Eva hung out in her little whale floaty having a great time. While Grace had a good time, but in order to have a good time she needed to be strangling the life out of some poor soul (Vickie, Rick, Kevin – or me) b/c she was afraid we might let go of her.

After playing in the pool Vickie offered the girls a snack & of course they don’t turn down food! I thought Grace might eat her out of house & home! I swear you’d think I don’t feed them… they had popsicles (which Eva loved, it’s a given w/ Grace), pretzels and Oreos:-) It was cute b/c this was the first time Eva had ever had an Oreo (I know they sound like they would have milk in them but surprisingly they don’t), so anyway – her first Oreo and what does she do? She immediately pulled it apart & ate the icing out! Almost like it was instinct :-) She’s a smart cookie!
