finally summer

Jude's second go round with summer has faced delay after delay. This has been one of the rainiest, coldest beginnings to summer we've seen in years.
warmer sunnier memories from last July

Today was our second opportunity to finally go to the pool based on good weather and an open day in the schedule...too bad Jude decided to be fussy and frustrated. We packed the diaper bag, found the towels and the sunscreen, but then decided to just go to the park instead.
A little park near us has a water play area with shooting geysers of water that turn on and off. We set Jude near a small spray and splashed around with him. And he took a high flying ride on the swings (note to self-- daddies push the baby much higher than mommies on the swing)

We finished up with a trip to the market for corn. And then held our first 'family' cookout with hotdogs, corn and roasted apples. yum. Jude tried the apples and a few bits of corn, but mostly enjoyed some fish and broccoli.

We have just put him down for the night (20 minutes earlier than normal-- thanks for the tip Dr. Weissbluth). Ahhhh. What a nice summer day.
