Soaking up (literally) the last little bit of summer!

The last week of summer provided some fun swimming opportunities with good friends! At all three events it was raining, but thankfully rain doesn't really matter to 5-6 year olds who want to swim!

The Haines (Orlando) were in town and we met at our neighborhood pool for a late night swim.  Turner and Joshua always enjoy visiting when he's in Auburn, but this was a special treat because we finally got to meet the newest addition to the family - Katie Grace (Hua).  She totally tripped me out with her precious personality and she and Turner hit it off big time!

Last Saturday, we started the morning with a baseball themed birthday party for our friend Cooper.  It was an unusually cool 68 degrees so the kids were quite chilly and shivered a good bit, but it didn't stop them!

Margie Grace has a little brother who is friends with Cooper, but Margie Grace and Turner know each other from Summer Show Offs this past July.  They seem to be kindred spirits of sorts and really enjoyed getting to reconnect at Cooper's party.  Here they are actually performing and singing SSO songs before jumping.

We came home for a couple of hours, but headed back up to the pool just as the rain really got going on our side of town.  We had invited all of Turner's classmates from preschool last year to come over for a "reunion/swimming party".  The rain and cold weather made for a smaller turn-out than expected, but the friends who came really enjoyed themselves!

What a wonderful and fun way to end our summer!
