Today we had a surprise pool party for Julia. Her birthday was in June, but we were so very busy getting ready to go camping, that we decided to plan the party for when we got home. She thought she was coming with Kristi to my house to swim for the afternoon.
We gathered all of the little girls and everyone hid behind a bush along our driveway. Which is very long, by the way. Anyway, I stood outside and watched them drive up the lane, and counted to three and all the little girls jumped out and yelled surprise. We warned Kristi they were going to jump out in front of her car. Julia was in shock, as she didn't say anything at first. After the shock wore off, she was very excited that she was going to get to swim with her friends, not just her sisters.
Even though it is July, the sun was hiding for most of the afternoon, and the girls didn't stay in the pool very long. They were freezing! Mikayla went in the pool with her Aunt Krago or Kristi, and loved it! She didn't love the cold water at first, but once she got used to it...she loved it.
Once Mikayla got out, she stood next to the pool, chatting with her Aunt Kristi. She is such a little chatter box. I wish I could understand at least half of what is coming out of her mouth, then I would feel like we were really communicating. It was a fun day...but I am beat.
