Summer Activities

I love summer because there are all sorts of free activities you can do. The days are longer. It's hot, but it's fun to enjoy the outdoors. On Saturday, we took Micah to see Madagascar 2 in the park. We got there around 7:30 and let him play until the movie started a little after 8:30. He made it until about 9:30, then we had to leave because he was getting a little restless. His bed time is 7:30 so I was happy he made it that long.





Yesterday, we had to opportunity to go to a "real" pool with Micah's friends. Their mom has a membership to a gym with an outdoor pool, and she can bring a guest for free. There is a kiddie pool that's fenced off from the big pool. It's only 18 inches deep, but my friend let me borrow some swimmies for Micah. Yes, they're pink but Micah is not ashamed! She still uses them for her girls as well just in case they fall over. Micah was a little skeptical and didn't really like the cold water. He finally started playing in it a little bit then fell over. It was a good thing he had the swimmies on because it was a little deep for him when he fell. He fell face first and got a mouth and nose full of water. He didn't cry but he wouldn't get back in after that. He was content putting his toes in the water and playing with toys around the edge of the pool.

Here are a few additional pictures of Micah playing in his kiddie pool a few weeks ago with his friends.
