Water Day

Since it was so nice and hot today, a bunch of us took the kids to the Hilltop park in El Segundo for a swim!  Jbird had a blast, Amelia liked it for a little bit, Mabel enjoyed the scenery, William almost drowned a couple times and the rest had fun.  And by the rest I mean, Louise and her kids Emily and William, Nicole and her kiddos Simone and Blaise, Jamie and Olivia and Hudson and me and my kids!

We came home, had some quiet time and then Jbird headed to the beach with his daddy, daddy's friend Joe who is visiting from KC, Jack, Annie and David George to fish and enjoy the warm weather.

Amelia, Mabel and I met them there when the girls woke up.

Second catch.  The first catch was a little shark but I missed it.  I brought the kiddie pool and it was a perfect home for the little sting ray until we set him free.

Everyone watching the little sting ray.

Once the sting ray went home, Mabel loved sitting in the cold ocean water.  She sat there for a long time, splashing and watching everyone around her.  My happy baby girl.

Amelia was scared of the waves crashing so she spent most of the time in the backpack.
