A kickoff to summer!

You know sometimes things just don't go your way.  We all learn that at some point or another.  This one here, Miss Independent, she is learning that now.

She gets easily frustrated and occasionally throws herself on the ground in her visual and audible display of frustration but many times she's cool as a cucumber and walks with a strut.

My mother-in-law had a little Welcome-Back-From-College-Let's-Get-This-Summer-Started-Party this weekend.  It was our first day to be at her house, with the pool open this year.  Although the weather wasn't exactly cooperating we still managed to bring the fun.

Miss Independent, frequently referred to as Madison, had a ball with a bucket of water to which she referred to as "tea".  Baby girl had a bucket of tea and was having her own little party.

Until she was comfortable enough to test out the waters. I sat back and watched Madison reach her little hand over the side of the pool, meanwhile the others were having mild heart attacks fearing that she was going to fall in. Yeah, she might have and could possibly have but she didn't and there were four adults right there to get her out. No need to instill fear when fear isn't needed right? I don't know, really. Maybe I'm too relaxed with her sometimes.

She perched her little bottom on the side of the pool and kicked away.

Even though the clouds covered our sun, it didn't cover our love for games.

It appears that someone has been watching her mama.

Well, we were having fun until Ryan made us work.

Some of us worked, some of us took pictures of others working.  Hey, someone has to document these good times right?  Right.
