Poolside and Grandpa's B-Day

We had a very busy Fourth of July weekend. Demian headed to Yelm Thursday night, so it was just me and the little man. Friday Colleen, McKenzie and Ben came over to help Atticus break in his new pool. Grandpa and Tutu got him a monster swimming pool for his birthday, and last weekend seem like a good time to break it in. Ben chilled in the shade while the big kids splashed around and used the pool slide.

Friday night Jess came to keep me company, and we did some catching up. Unfortunately for her, with Demian out of town, the usual tasty meal was absent from the night.

For the 4th, we stayed home. I'm not much for dragging a toddler into big crowds if I can help it, plus the dogs are not big fans of all the loud noise. Lillianna came over in the day, and she got to see Atti's amazing pool skills. And later that evening Melissa brought the girls over for a dip. The bonus was she brought dinner. It was nice that D didn't have to cook anything after working all weekend and the long drive from Yelm. We hung out side late in the evening and watched the neighborhood light up with fireworks. Atticus seem indifferent to all the action. He seem more confused as to why he was in his pajamas outside at bedtime.

Sunday was Grandpa V's birthday so we all headed up to the Ville to help celebrate. Chasing Atticus around was a bit of a marathon, and his favorite part of the day was getting wet in the fountain and then going straight into the garden and getting nice and dirty.

The weekend was busy, but it didn't seem long enough.
