Sweet Summertime!

Earlier this week, as I was driving home from work, I passed a house that had their blow-up swimming pools and lots of little kids running back and forth from the sprinkler to the pools... while mom sits in her lawn chair and sun bathes....

Aww... sweet summertime!

And I COULDN'T WAIT to get out the $5 walmart special blow-up pool that I had gotten for Miss Riley.

I even used Ryan's air compressor and aired it up all by myself :-)

While it was filling up with water, Riley and I got changed into our suits.

I'll admit though, putting water into it for the first time was a little chilly!

Riley was a trooper and didn't care...

But she didn't want to sit down. So instead we splashed around with our feet and walked in circles around the perimeter of the pool!

All in all, we only played in the water maybe 20 minutes... but oh well. We had lots of fun! (I didn't get any pics of her in the pool since I wanted to be sure to be able to catch her in case she slipped!)

Later that night, I had taken all the pillows in the house and piled them in the middle of the living room floor. Riley LOVED this!

She just wallered in them for over an hour! It was so much fun to watch her play!

This was probably one of the most fun days we've had together!
