Great weekend!

We had a great weekend hanging out with uncle John, Emilie & Diego
tonight. It was Ethan's first time in a big pool. He was a little
scared at first, but he had a good time splashing on the steps by the
end. He only fell in head first once...he wasn't even scared
afterward. He was really relaxed when we were all done and looked
like he could have fallen asleep...yet he is still awake on the way
home and it is 45 min past his bedtime.

We played on the slip and slide earlier today with the cousins. We
washed it off from last year. It worked great. Aunt cori had an
inflatable boogie board that helped the kids actually get all the way
down the slide. It was also easy to push the little ones down. We
had a blast, even though it was 111 outside.

Yesterday we went to dinner with cousin Emilie and walked around Tempe
Marketplace. We bought a couple books at the bookstore and played in
the water area where the water shot up from the ground. Ethan was a
little shy about splashing around with the water without us standing
nearby. He had a good time!

This picture was taken earlier in the week. Ethan loves putting on
his cowboy hat and dancing around. We think he is trying to sing a
song from one of his favorite Backyardigans episode 'Polka Palace
Party' where they are cowboys trying to get to the polka palace in
Cheyene, Wyoming to play at a birthday party. We call him Cowboy
Ethan when he is wearing the hat. He also likes to get on the rocking
horse that Grandpa gave him. It makes nieghimg and galloping sounds
too.
