Summer is here


FINALLY! The sun came out today and it was nice and hot. (Though cool in the shade!). So Daddy got to work in the garden again. He mowed the lawn and got the pool out and filled it right up so it would be get all warmed up and ready for when we came back after our afternoon romp in the park. Yup, Bibou met up with Dan at the park again today. Boy, both of them just couldn't stop running around, squealing and screaming with delight! They were running round and round, chasing pigeons, picking and throwing stones, running up and down the hill. They were so excited that they didn't even cry whenever they fell down, not even when they crashed into each other full face on! It was really sweet to see them together, even when we were leaving the park, they would run off together hand in hand. Awww. They give each other big kisses goodbye!

Anyway, so when we came back from the park, Bibou jumped into 'her' pool imme
diately while little Angel enjoyed lying on the grass. Daddy changed into his swim suit, but when he 'tested' the water, he decided it just wasn't 'warm enough' - well, the pool was just too cold! But Bibou didn't mind and jumped in it and wouldn't get out. She had a lot of fun tonight, splashing and jumping around, playing with her Winnie the Pooh ball and inner tube. Throughout last year and also this year when we got the pool out, we've tried to get Bibou to sit on the inner tube and 'float' on it, but she'd been afraid and didn't want to at all. She would only stand in the 'hole'. But today, I pulled out the inner tube again and asked if she wanted to sit, thinking she'd say no, but she surprised me by saying 'yes'. So I helped her onto the tube slowly and spun her around! And she absoulately LOVE it. She squealed with laughter and asked for more, so more it was! So much so that we had to drag her out of the pool as she was turning blue!

After the girls went to bed, Daddy and I had a lovely dinner in the garden by candlelight. It was a lovely evening! Oh and I just LOVE this last pic of the both of them. Comedy Duo they are.





Here's the video of Bibou spinning in the pool:
