Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

The heat is making me very uninterested in doing anything right now.

We went up the mountain, and rode the chair lift to the top. It was such an amazing view. We walked around for a bit, at the top, and then rode it down. We really wanted to feed the Whiskey Jacks (birds) because they land on your hands, but they were no where to be seen, way too hot. No birds, too many horse flies.

We went to the pool for a couple hours, after a smoothie at Zen Zero. The wave pool was pretty fun, the waves are really big! Brandi and Avery were there as well.

Dinner with the family tonight, now I'm just melting on our bed, wishing for AC or cooler weather. Almost time for Reagan to go to bed, Tim needs to do homework and I think I might have a cold bath. Heh. Need to shave my legs and get ready for the wedding.

I hurt my hip the other day, no idea how, and it's really stiff and sore. What a drag.

I'm too warm.

First memorial weekend ever.

We went and bought new sunscreen, a small grill (really inexpensive, but perfect for here!), and I'm so excited for summer.

The pool opened today, Tim and I had fun swimming around, Reagan was driving us nuts because she was being a wuss at the edge of the pool, refusing to go out past 2 feet. Finally I threatened her, and told her that we were going to return the pool passes if she didn't get in the water. Apparently this is year three of spending the entire summer in 1 feet of water, and we are getting over it ;)

She climbed on me and clung to my front. We hung out at 3 feet for a while and eventually worked over to 5 feet. She eventually had a lot of fun, which was a great step forward.

We were in the water for almost 2 hours!

Tim just made a bunch of kabobs and I made chocolate brownies, which we'll have with fresh strawberries. Yum.

I feel really grateful today, grateful for the sun, for a pool, for my family, for all the things I've been blessed with, like clean water and clean air, many people who love me.

What an amazing afternoon. I feel so happy (still sick, but happy) I feel peace.

Spent the afternoon talking to friends on m.s.n. while the kids all slept. I woke the baby up and she was so sweet. Nothing like waking a little one who smiles and kisses you before she even has her eyes open.

Went outside and sat in the sun, soaking in the warmth. Looked at my clamatis that is in full bloom, three more are getting ready. My apple tree has blossoms!!! The first year it had no blossoms, second year they were all picked and sprinkled on the road by neighbour children, and last year no flowers. I am excited with the hope of finally an apple - I would be happy with ONE!

Rhodo's are in full bloom, hanging baskets are hung. Just have to start weeding (which is not my fav.) This year I am planting pole beans and pole beans and pole beans!!!

Yay for gardens! Yay for spirit being lifted! Yay for sun!
