Nothing says summer like...

the pool opening!!  Hooty!  It was an exciting day in the Andrews household last Saturday.  The pool means many things, but for me it means this:

Pool + Snacks + the hot Colorado sun = exhausted kids and quiet time for Mommy when we return home!

The pool opened on Saturday AM at 10. Kate and I decided the night before that we would aim for arriving at 10 AM. We were both SHOCKED when we actually arrived before 10 AM. That is so unlike us!!

Milo was in awe - he just stood in the entryway for what seemed like 5 minutes...staring at the huge oasis of water, the fountains, the overflowing buckets.  He was either thinking "Wow, what is this fabulous place my Mommy has taken me too?"  or "What in the hell, this is what you meant by the pool?  I am not getting in there."

 As usual, Milo was the one being too cool for school and refused to wear his hooded towel for the fabulous photo op.  The Easter Bunny brought these for the kids this year and they are so cute.  We have a dolphin (Milo), a pirate (Ian), a mermaid (Ava), and a garden girlie (Ella).  The bonus of these towels is the kids can change their clothes under the towel without exposing themselves to all the patrons at the Roosevelt Pool.

The boys enjoyed snacks and watching an episode of DirtGirlWorld after lunch and quiet time/naps.  Mommy enjoyed just being able to relax for a few minutes!

We were supposed to head over to Uncle Jon's on Saturday, but some nasty weather came our way.  So, we rescheduled for Sunday.  It had been too long since we all got together, so we were ready for some fun!

 Peyton and Ian loved the wader pool.  Milo was a casual observer on the outskirts:)

 Milo kept pointing to Uncle Jon's tattoo and saying, "Hot." 

 A little wheelbarrow fun for all the kiddos! 

 Warm milk and bunny - it's really all you need to make life better:)

 Talkin' cars with Uncle Jon - his favorite topic!  I am thinking The Racecar Alphabet might need to join our library too.

So I got a new bath mat on Saturday.  It is a memory foam mat and I was telling Ian how comfortable it was.  I made a remark similar to, "It's so comfy you could sleep on it."  I went to pick out the boys' outfits for the day on Monday and came into the bathroom to find Ian "pretend" sleeping on the floor.  I will save this picture for when he goes off to college.  ha!  I am hoping he never passes out on a bathroom floor, but if he finds himself in that situation I sure hope he has a comfy place to lay!
