This week the weather got WARM and then cool again. We also had Memorial Day this week so we had extra time to be out enjoying the sunshine. I feel like we seized every opportunity we could to be out playing baseball, playing at the park, swimming, and even enjoying the river.
Baseball is pretty much life for our family right now with all of Merrick's games (and Jeremy's coaching of Merrick's team). This has been amped up even more though because several of the cousins are getting close to being able to hit a home run. They are all very anxious to be the next one to hit this milestone so love to find any excuse to get out and try. The rest of us, including Millie, are just along for the ride.
Memorial Day also marked the beginning of splash pad season. This gave Elsie a whole new option for fun during Carrigan's lacrosse practice. We also stumbled on to Millie's mini twin at the park this week. She was a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cocker Spaniel and I feel like she answered so many questions for us about Millie's DNA. While she was smaller than Millie, her owner said that some of her siblings were Millie's size.
This week we also enjoyed the river for the first time this year. The Brown cousins came out and brought their paddleboards. The kids liked going for rides and having paddleboard water fights. I even tried out paddle boarding for the first time. I was even able to keep my balance while standing, but preferred to paddle sitting or on my knees. It was a pretty fun time until the end when we lost a good paddle and Carrigan got overheated and threw up.
We are all anxiously awaiting summer and even more fun in the sun.
