Memorial Day Weekend

We were in Bloomfield for a quick visit.  Grandma Lisa has a little pool and the boys loved splashing in the hot weather!  Hutchinson LOVES it!  Finnean spent the entire day outside playing while Hutchinson and I enjoyed Abby's baby shower :) 

Brothers!
I love this picture.  They look so old and so dang happy :)

I love this face.  He looks so surprised!

YUM!
Finnean helped Poppa make some homemade ice cream and this is them enjoying it!

We came back to Ankeny on Sunday and had dinner with some friends across the street.   The boys swam and we visited.  Monday we relaxed and hung out together and then headed to the big pool.  Finnean was timid to say the least.  He was SCARED! Poor guy.  We want him to take safe risks, so we basically made him go down a little, tiny slide.  Michael said he "may or may not have pulled him down" :) Whoops!  We showed him how to have fun by taking turns going down all the big slides.  Finnean LOVED cheering for us as one of us would shoot out of the fast slides!  It was pretty cute and I think that eased his fears of the pool.  At the end of our time there, he said that he had a lot of fun and wanted to come back :)  Sweet boy.  Hutchinson loved it and didn't mind getting wet at all!  Whew-we are tired after that long weekend!  They both slept in until 810 this morning...whoooo :)
