Pool babes and record highs.

Dear Grandparents,

Well, I am finally not currently ailing from anything. My mommy is relieved and exhausted, she did such a great job taking care of me that I am going to try and be easy on her this coming week (at least, so she hopes).

This weekend Mommy and I went to see Grandpa John and Grandma Nancy in Austin, Texas. But first we had to pack...and I was not being particularly helpful keeping things tidy while she did this. Mommy said that it was alright though because Daddy loves my messes and would be happy to clean it up after we were gone.



I did pretty good on the plane, despite the double ear infection that came on the end of the viral infection I had. The doc gave my mommy some drops that numbed my ears and that helped me a lot. I only fussed a little right before falling asleep...as we were landing.

Grandma and Grandpa's house is so much fun! There are a million carpets for me to push around and explore under :)

We didn't have any plans when we got here, just a relaxing weekend by the pool. My float was waiting for me :) Hello old friend...


Grandpa was the first one to help me explore the waterfall.


Here I am with Grandpa, you can definitely see the family resemblance!


Mommy is helping me figure out the splash ball.


Not sure what I was yelling about..



I couldn't help but crawl up onto the rocks, above the splashes which kept getting me in the face, to play on the waterfall.


Here is one of the new outfits we got. Grandma and Grandpa helped outfit me for the next size clothes that I am swiftly approaching.


On Sunday we were supposed to go get lunch and walk around shops, but the economy, being in the shit hole that it is, caused a lot of the small businesses to close down and there wasn't much to see, so we ended up spending three hours sightseeing from the car. I did not do well with this, though my mommy tried valiantly to keep me occupied.


After that long car ride it was time for some more pool, unfortunately I was pretty tired and cranky so I didn't have smiles unless I was by mommy :( oh well, this is still a lovely picture with my grandparents.


And last, but not least (Mommy had me put that) is a shot of me playing on the shallow step.


Tomorrow we are headed home, back to normal summer temperatures in the 90's and out of this record breaking heat in Austin. They are in an all time record breaking heat wave, day 47 today!

I am looking forward to the airport tomorrow because Mommy has a new hiking backpack for me to ride in :)I will make sure someone takes a picture.

To all of my grandparents,
With love,
Leif
