A Fun Day

     Yesterday was my dad's birthday, so our little family traveled out to Hallsville and enjoyed the outdoors.  My sister drove in from Houston with her little 4 month old.  We swung, threw balls in the pool over and over again, enjoyed relaxing in the shade and Lydia fished with Daddy.  Her little rod and reel didn't have any string on it so she just practiced reeling it.  Mainly she would put the tip of the rod in the water and see what yucky stuff she could pull out (see picture 3).

 So cute!

     That evening we all went out and ate sushi, and a lot of it!  Here's Lydia with Grandpa and Bibi.  Lydia enjoyed eating her edamame, goldfish and white rice.  I had a bit of a wake up call last night when my sister was having trouble getting London to take a nap at the restaurant.  I could tell she was getting very frustrated, and here I am not having to do anything for Lydia since she's pretty independent.  Then I realized it will only be about 5 more months till that's me.  Hopefully it will be different the second go around, more "go with the flow".  We'll see.  :)
