July 28, 2008

Grace and Suki play with their friend Scout at a splashy playgroup this morning. You can see from the expression on Suki's face that she is not going to stay in that little pool for long.

Oh, how I wish we 'd gotten a picture of what took place just moments before. Grace climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide. It's a big slide and the way she came off it, she slid across the bottom of the pool with her head under the water. It scared her and she had a hard time figuring out how to get herself on the right side of the water. I reached in and pulled her up, and while she did not want to go down the slide again I was so proud that she braved that big pool and lots more splashes. Click the picture to get a good look at Grace's grin.

You all knew that there would be a picture of Suki attempting the same thing next, right? Our friend Rosemary was a big help with this.

Splashing with the hose.

Ready to make her attempt.


A slow descent to splash down. We are so lucky to have friends to help us at these playgroups!

Ready to go up again!

Kate slept nearly the entire time.

Staking her claim with the big boys.

She is undaunted. Not that these boys were trying to daunt, but it always amazes me to see the way Suki asserts herself.

I'm not sure they knew what to make of her.

A push on the swing.
