We stayed pretty busy over the long weekend. On Saturday we tried to do a little shopping, but Hailey wouldn't have any part of it. She screamed wanting out of her stroller - so I gave in and let her out, then she wanted to run around everywhere. When we tried to keep her under control, the screaming began - I'm talking top of her lungs, red face, alligator tears rolling fit. I remember saying to Kevin at one point, "Oh my God, we've become THOSE parents with the screaming kid that everyone else wishes would shut up!" We were pretty embarrassed and quickly made the long trek from the back of Target to the exit. As soon as we got to the car, Hailey was fine of course, but my nerves were shot! On the way home we stopped at Sonic for some happy juice and Hailey got her first taste of heaven in a cup - orange cream slush. Every time I gave her a sip (more like guzzle) she would get this great big smile and beg for more.
Saturday evening it was time for Hailey to test out her new pool. I think she spent more time climbing in and out of the thing than actually swimming, but we had a good time.
On Sunday we traveled to Spur Lake for a family reunion of all my mom's dad's side of the family. Many of these relatives, I had not seen since our wedding nearly 5 years ago. This was also Hailey's first time to meet them. I was a little worried how she would be out in the heat all day with nearly 100 new people around her, but she was great! (guess she got all her fussies out in Target the day before -hehe). We had a lot of great food and enjoyed visiting and being outside.
