our 4th, part one

I guess I should start where I left off...

Our 4th was awesome, despite some setbacks.  We did what we did last year, with some added stuff.  My niece, Ashley, came along too.  We kicked off the day with a little grillin', then went to the pool and did a little chillin'.  Everyone had fun in the pool.  It wasn't that packed, since the nice meteorologists were calling for rain.

Unfortunately, we had to cut it short when after a couple of hours, Bum came out of the pool to show us this:

There were spots like this all over her...we had seen it before (from Grandma's blow-up pool), but nothing like this.  So we rinsed her off, and called it quits there.  (Update about that--she's going to an allergist in about 3 weeks...that's the soonest they could get her in.  In the meantime, she's on Claritin, and it's working fine.)

So we went home, got changed, gave her a bath, then went to another park in the area.  The kids played in the creek, and Ashley caught a (very strong) crawfish/crayfish.

Then we were bored with that park, so back up to Nay Aug we went.  The playground up there is just awesome.

back in a few with part 2.

til next time...=)
