- the weekend really did happen
- we had a really good time
we started off on saturday with a morning trip to the pool. we have come to realize that a pre-10:30 a.m. arrival is required if you want to snag an umbrella table by the kiddie pool ... primo seating! we stayed and played until lunchtime, when the pool had a big barbecue to celebrate its 50th birthday -- complete with balloons, cake & ice cream, and singing. jack loved it and mommy and daddy loved getting someone else to make lunch!
after a restorative nap, we headed over to our friends' house for a beach crew happy hour. jack had a blast playing with the older kids, and "taking care" of the babies. a slip-n-slide in their backyard was the highlight of the afternoon.
in the evening, nana and grandad stopped by en route from the airport and jack enchanted them with his mile-a-minute activity ... coloring, reading books, and singing "twinkle twinkle little star" which is his new signature.
sunday, after a yummy breakfast, jack and mommy hit the trail while daddy got some yard work done, but we did return home in time for jack to be "helper lawnmower" which was his constant refrain while we walked.
an afternoon rounded out with serious park time and watching a little golf, soccer, and baseball on tv was very popular with young jack.
it was a trifecta of a weekend -- productivity, socialiability and family togetherness.
the only thing missing?
the photographic evidence.
ah well ... maybe next time.
