Pool Days Are Here!

Yesterday Lily and I went to the splash park here in Ankeny (free from 10-noon each weekday = awesome).  She was definitely not into the idea of trying anything out on her own so I held her the whole time while we stuck our arms and legs in all of the little fountains. :)  Today we headed over to Ames and went to the aquatic center there with some friends.  It took Lily about an hour to get used to the water and then she decided she wanted down to go explore on her own.  I was so proud of her!  Her favorite area was in the zero entry part where there were little fountains of water.  Every time she'd walk through them or stick her arm in, she'd start clapping with a big smile.  Waaaaay too cute!  Our last fun of the day was going in the Lazy River which was the highlight for me.  I think I could float around in there all day.  Tonight we purchased her a little kiddie pool for our backyard so I'm thinking the more she gets used to being in the water, the more she'll love it.  I'm praising God for all of these super fun moments I get with my sweet girl!

The look on her face cracks me up.  This snack cup goes with her virtually everywhere.  She was not very happy that she couldn't take it in the water with her!

Water play makes for one very tired little girl
