a new friend and a trip to the pool

This afternoon was quite eventful. First Bryce found a new friend ( really...Bryan found the new friend and put it in a box for Bryce)....a turtle. Bryce and Callie had fun watching him walk around in the yard. Maxi wasn't too impressed and growled in it's direction whenever she could. Bryan wanted to let Bryce keep it as a pet, but I put my foot down. Thank goodness Bryce decided it would be a good idea to let it go free in the morning. So tonight the turtle is snuggled down in a nice box with some water and food.

We also took the kids to the pool this evening. Bryce put his face in the water and swam without his swimmies for the first time! Callie wasn't too sure about the water. She decided it was more fun to sit on the edge and watch everyone. I think she knew how cute she looked and was just showing off :) !! I loved last years suits but this one is my favorite by far. And check out the upside down sunglasses. She refuses any help and screams "by self!!" Gotta love a strong willed, independent girl!!
