Rain Rain Go Away... Weekend Wrap Up!

This must be the rainiest July on record! What to do on a rainy day? Why swim camp of course! I mean once you're wet you're wet right? Friday was Colin's last day of camp at our little pool club, Little Hunting Park. Despite the rain he has had a great time making arts & crafts, learning brand-new-never-thought-of-before games, like red light, green light and marco polo. No joke he was completely flabbergasted as to how I already knew how to play marco polo. Colin also announced as I came to pick him up that he "made two new friends, Claire and Tom." There isn't much more heart warming than seeing your sometimes shy and introverted child making friends with kids he's never me before. 

While Colin was splashing around Will and I needed to stay close by the pool incase they cancelled camp so we made a stop into Krispy Kreme which is around the corner from the pool. We spent a lot of time examining just how the donuts are made and then had a little sample. You know, quality control an all!

Once the clouds parted and the sun peeked out Will and I hit the pool. While we were waiting for adult swim to wrap up in the big pool we hung out in the baby pool where Will immediately met a new friend and introduced himself. Despite the fact that she never gave Will her name it didn't stop him from making up a whole host of games with her. I eventually had to drag him away as it was time to go home to boisterous protests about unfinished games. 

"So hey, I'm Will, wanna play?"

Later that afternoon we decided to take Will's best buddy Jay bowling with us. I couldn't believe that this little 3 year old got two spares! I mean they did have bumpers and a bowling ball swoopy thing but he scored higher than I used to back when Jim and I bowled, pre-kids. Will was a grumpy Gus most of the afternoon, and he and Jay decided they were no longer best friends. We'll see if the drama continues, my guess is they've both forgotten. 

Grumpy Gus!

Saturday was really low key, another full day at the pool followed by dinner at Uncle Julios. What beats margaritas, queso and chips? A tortilla maker, natch. The boys were fascinated and Will asked if we could get one for our house. Clearly the kid doesn't know my phobia of excessive kitchen appliances, see also: clutter.

Sunday, Jim decided to wear the bow-tie that Will gave him for Father's Day so then Will decided he also needed a bow-tie to match his "bow-tie friend." Snapped a cute pic on our way out the door to church. Mind you by the time we got to church shirts were untucked, hair was disheveled and there might have been a tear or two. 

Tie Friends!

PS If you noticed the new drapes in the background, yes they arrived last week and I'm still totally smitten with them!
