Pool is OPEN

After church, we headed over to the Parkers' (or friends house as Reagan & Cooper call it) to help them officially open their pool for the season.  The water temperature was perfect, the sun was shining, the food was delicious and the friendships can't be beat!

Reagan's entrance into the pool
Cooper wasted no time getting into the water
Smiles were everywhere
so much fun!
Cooper thought about going down the slide ~ but decided not to after all!
she wants to learn to swim so bad ~ she would alternate between practicing without her "frog" and having the security of it (and being able to go in the deep end)
No pool party would be complete without food!
back to the hot tub

After swimming, Cooper relaxed by playing the drums
Taylor, Lexi & Reagan hanging out on the swing
We had so much fun ~ it's just easy to be around these people.  Can't wait for our next get together!

Saturday Fun

We had a busy day on Saturday ~ here are a few highlights from our day.

We started out the day at gymnastics ~
bear walk on the beam
handstands on the beam
Cooper learning to vault
hanging on the bars
getting ready to jump on the trampoline
front support on the bars
hanging on the "real high" bar
doing it all by herself
After lunch, we went shopping.
Cooper decided to test drive bicycles at Dicks
Reagan and Cooper also tried out the eliptical machines, treadmills, golf clubs and finally pedal boats
After dinner, we had our 1st batch of home made ice cream for the year.
Reagan was beyond excited!
Unfortunately for Cooper, he didn't finish his supper and therefore, didn't get to have a snack
Trying to fill daddy's shoes!

Mom's Date with Cooper

While Reagan and Greg were at the Father/Daughter dance, Cooper and I had a "date" of our own.  We played, ate ice cream and played some more!  I think he enjoyed the one-on-one time!

All smiles before our date
enjoying the ice cream
Want some?
we played trains
we played zoo keeper
He "cooked" us dinner
got us some milk from the refrigerator
he even made a birthday cake
he made us fruit smoothies
We had a great time- just the two of us, but I couldn't wait for our other half to get home!

Daddy/Daughter Dance 2011

Our church held its annual Father/Daughter Dance tonight.  This year's theme was Dancing with the Stars.
