I spent one more morning on the treadmill to be sure my cough was under control before trying to run outside. The cool morning are the perfect running weather so I don’t think I can stand running inside any longer!

When I was getting ready to run I noticed that a Rock Dove had made her nest on our deck. She is probably tricked into thinking it’s a calm house without kids or a dog. Hopefully she will be okay when we all return home.

After my run I got the kids down to the rec center for swim lessons then we met friends at a splash pad to play for the rest of the morning.

It is so so nice to have the splash pads turned on this year.

snacks….always so many snacks.

I love seeing them with their little friends, I am lucky that my friends have awesome littles!

After lunch and some quiet time we went back to the pool to play for a couple hours, I am thinking we are going to be spending many hot afternoons there! it was a water/sun soaked day!

When we got back to my parents’ house it was pizza on the deck until bedtime. Days like this make me so incredibly grateful, I hope to remember this very happy time in my life. It’s been nice having dinner every night with my parents and enjoying extra time with them.
