We started off the day leaving at 10 am to Sierra Hills Park for our Thursday play group. It is the park with the ground level water feature for the kids to play in. Candy, Amanda, and Matt's mom went with Ben and Shaea's kids as well as several other families from the play group. The kids had a ball there. By noon I made my kids get out of the sun and stay under the pavillion. We had all brought our own picnic lunch so we ate and visited. We didn't end up getting home until 2pm. The kids were starving again so I picked up Wendy's Jr bacon cheese burgers for everyone on the way home, I got one too without the bun and extra lettuce. Anyway at 3:30 Candy kids and Cynthia with Ben's kids came over and went swimming for about an hour. After they got out, they huddle together on the side of the house where it is the warmest; so I had to take a picture of it. Then I notice that the two little ones, Safia and Brandon, were still in the water, so I had to get a picture of those two water babies too. I have mention my light bulb moment. I was worried about Beau climbing up the ladder as well as other little non swimmers. As I was staring at the ladder the idea dawned on me to just remove the bottom step. So I did and it worked. Neither Beau nor Sariah can climb up the ladder to get into the pool without assistance. That was such a relief.
So after they all left, I went to a neighbor's house to do our monthly drypack canning. This month I did carrots. Candy and I split a box.
For dinner we grilled again which makes the 3rd time this week. I love my grill. Then we sat and watch a movie together as a family. This is the fun part about summer!
Just a side note about the burger w/o the bun. I have been trying to gradually ween Beau by not trying to eat so much and trying to get him to eat more. If I cut down on eating, I can't produce as much milk. I have also been trying to loose weight. I have been able to loose about 3 pounds this past week just by watching my food combining. I don't eat carbs/grains with my proteins. (I eat them, just not together.) I also have been eating a lot of raw and steamed veggies, lost of green salads with extra virgin olive oil dressing. I would like to get back to my pre-pregnancy weigh by the end of the summer which means I need to loose another 10 pounds.

dry pack canning at your neighbors! that is awesome. i was just realizing now that we have more space, we are running really low on a lot of "staples" for food storage. i hope our ward does something with the cannery! the pool looks like fun. scott wishes $$$ grew on trees so we could get a hot tub, someday
what good inspiration you got about removing the bottom step!
i hear you about the wanting to loose weight thing. i am trying to be patient with my body while i nurse, but it's so hard!!! good luck on those extra 10 lbs.
