Fun in the Sun

We had a blast playing outside in FL. It was definitely some much needed fun in the sun!

I came out one night after putting Levi to bed, to find my dad standing in the backyard with Emma- who was soaked running through the sprinklers. Look at that face- this is why it is awesome having kids! When was the last time you just decided to run through the sprinklers after dinner with your clothes on? Or even ALLOWED your kids to do it?

It is awesome having kids because they remind me what life is really about.
- Steph, sorry if this is too cheesy for ya!
-Dad, I'm sure you will be reminding me I said this every time Levi is screaming his head off through the baby monitor 5 minutes after I put him down for his nap :)
And even so- knowing it is cheesy, and the kids drive me crazy quite a bit...I still mean every word of it!


Pool time!!! Look at my little chicken! The first day we were down, she wouldn't get off the steps of the pool, and wouldn't let me touch her. By the last day, she wouldn't let me touch her....because she wanted to swim "by herself" in her little tube. She was having a blast, always the last one out of the pool- and she is pretty good at kicking her feet to swim now. I think swim lessons are in the very near future!

In a hurry to pack, I realized I did not have a bathing suit for Levi- so I grabbed Emma's old cloth swim diaper figuring we would use it in a pinch until I had a chance to get him a suit when we were in FL. Well......we ended up needing the suit right away. Poor guy! As his Bubbe put it...he makes one ugly girl!!

I don't think Levi is thrilled to be wearing his sister's bathing suit either.....

and to make matters worse, the sun hat we bought him while we were down there is apparently a "girls" hat- poor kid can't catch a break!
