Saturday at the "fun pool".

Today was a fine day for fun at the pool. Indoors, of course. I played with the water fountains, slid down the tube and practiced my swimming. Good times.

Swimming weekend

This past weekend I went to Kingston to visit with G'ma and G'pa M. First we went to Daddy's friend Rob's house. He had friends over to visit with another one of Dad's friends, Mark (and family), who were up from South Carolina. The Schechter's were there, and the Clark's. Maddy Dudek drew a picture of me and we all went swimming in the pool. I borrowed a life vest, and along with my swimmies, could float and swim all by myself. The next day, Grandma gave me my very own life vest and brought me to her pool. I stayed in the pool and swam for a reaallllly long time. I even went to the deep end of the pool! After swimming, Dad showed me a game called shuffleboard. I gave it a try, but I think I need to be bigger to play. I can't wait to get in the water again.

Mercier Family Reunion

I went to Lake Placid this past week for a vacation and family reunion. I got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa M, and all of my Uncles, Aunts and Cousins* from Dad's side of the family, some that I never met before! The weather was beautiful and there was so much to do. I went swimming, fishing, bowling, played on the beach on Mirror Lake, ate s'mores, built forts with cushions, slept in a bunk bed and stayed up really late.

*cousin Lynne couldn't be there because of grad school obligations

July 4th weekend.

I had a busy busy weekend. I went swimming with my friends Jake and Kyle, ate lots and lots of watermelon at my cousin Sierra's graduation party, went to the Farmers Market and ate pickles and granola (not together), played in my pool, squirted G'Pa with a water gun and ran through the sprinklers with Dad. I even made a picklepine (pickle porcupine) with toothpicks and a pickle (then Dad ate it, minus the toothpicks). I was so busy every day that I was tired (and asleep) before any fireworks went off. Oh well, there's always next year.

Cape Cod.

I went to South Yarmouth in Cape Cod with Mom and Dad last week. We visited with "Aunt" Tory and Haley and Hellick. I played in the sand at the beach, played on the swings and the seahorse at the playground, rode the boogie-board in the ocean, and more. I can't wait to go back!

Splash! Bounce!

Today we went to our friend's house in Troy. Dad took me for my first dip in a big pool. I was a little uncertain at first, but got used to it pretty quickly and had fun splashing with K.C. and Sophie. Then we bounced on the trampoline (that's K.C. with me in the photo)!

First "swim."

Me + my new pool = summer fun.
