lunch date

My niece plays on a club volleyball team in Sacramento. And her team is so awesome that they qualified for The Junior Olympics in Atlanta this year.

Lucky for us, on their way out they had a quick layover here in Denver. We knew it would be fast, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see her and my brother-in-law. So the kids and I picked up lunch and drove out to the airport to meet them.

We were SO glad we got to have a lunch date with them - even if it was for a mere 15 minutes!!

water lovers

Our city has fabulous Rec Centers with great pools. Luckily we live right down the street from one.

We ventured over there for the first time the other day to meet up with some friends. The kids loved playing and splashing in the water. And I had a great time visiting and soaking up the sun as I tried to keep my independent 2 year old from following the older kids farther into the water.

Sydney loved it!! It's a zero-depth pool, so we were able to sit at the edge and she could play in it all so wanted.

By the time we got home from our 2 minute drive, she was OUT!!

Let's just say she slept from 6pm-6am that night (which is so unlike her)

But I wasn't complaining.
