Finally unthawing

We had an amazing day yesterday. It was SO nice outside! After Mommy got a chance to sleep in a bit (thank you Daddy!!!!) we headed off to Lowe’s and Home Depot to do a little shopping. We have discovered that Home Depot has a bit of an edge over Lowe’s. No, it isn’t low prices, a better selection or great customer service…it is the car carts. After walking into Home Depot and Layla seeing those dang carts we can’t make just a quick trip. Nope…we have to scope out a car cart even though they are approximately 50 times larger than the normal carts. You have to really work up some momentum to get those things to even turn a corner. And if you actually put merchandise in there, forget it. You are running into at least 4 people while in the store.

After our NASCAR Queen had enough we headed home to break out the pool. The water was absolutely freezing, something I think we’ll have to get used to up here until late July. Of course, the dogs were the first ones in and probably had more fun than anyone. Layla enjoyed watching Oscar splash around a bit then got in herself, but decided just her feet in were enough. After about 10 minutes of splash time Oscar poked a hole in the pool so we had a funeral. Hopefully Daddy can patch the whole but overall it wasn’t bad for a $2 sale at Pamida. ;o)

Then it was nap time for Layla and time for the bug guy to come. I’m not sure what he did but I haven’t seen a single monster from hell since he left. YAY! 

After nap we decided to head out to Thrune Park. I have been stalking this park since we moved here 9 months ago. And by stalking I mean I am shocked that the neighborhood watch hasn’t called the police. Good thing I don’t drive a white van! LOL. It was closed for construction and finally opened a few weeks ago. This park is GREAT! It is totally fenced in and perfect for toddlers. It has a splash area, picnic tables, a tunnel, walking paths and lots of other fun stuff for Layla to explore. Layla had a blast running around and showing Daddy all the fun tricks she can do. 
 

This picture below is for Grammy...I think you got your red headed Great Grandchild! Curls and all...I have a feeling this summer she'll be more than a strawberry blonde. ;o)

 This was such a great weekend, I can’t wait to have more family time in the sunshine soon!
