Today was hot, so we went down to the pool as a family. We have gone for the past couple of weeks, and Brooke has seen some other kids with their “noodles” and wanted to play with them. This was surprising considering about a year ago she was deathly afraid of them, but Laura bought her one and we got to test it out today. Brooke loved it. She had her own independence in the water while using it and seemed to like floating free.
We took our friend Adrianna to the Virginia Aquarium today. The girls had a lot of fun looking at all the different exhibits. Afterwards we all enjoyed lunch out and the girls got to play some more. It was a fun morning with two adorable two-year olds.
The day before Mother’s Day last week we went to Hickory Ridge Farms for their Strawberry Jamboree. We had a good time picking strawberries, looking at arts and crafts, and Brooke even got a chance to sit in a police car (which she thoroughly loved).
Last Wednesday we went to a little festival that Chesapeake put on with several of the local food trucks. They also had a live band from one of the high schools nearby. We had a nice time visiting with friends and eating delicious food.
This past Monday we went to the Great Wolf Lodge, an indoor water park we had just visited in March. This time we went for just a day trip, and had a blast. Brooke loved splashing around in the water again. With our new phones that are water-resistant I even took lots of photos in the water and some videos going down the water slides (I might have pushed the limits of the water resistance, but the phone still works). At the end of the day, you could tell Brooke really enjoyed herself by how quickly she fell asleep on the car ride home… barely made it out of the parking lot.
