1st Memorial Day

This was Bo's first Memorial Day weekend. It was pretty uneventful which is exactly what we wanted. Bo had his first trip to the swimming pool. We have a fabulous neighborhood pool, which of course being a holiday weekend meant LOTS of people. We went pretty late in the afternoon thinking there wouldn't be so many people, but we were wrong. After being coated in sunscreen, a swim diaper, swimsuit, swim shirt, and hat he was all ready! It's a lot of work to take a baby to the pool. He did okay, he wasn't really sure what to think of everything. There is a covered baby "wading" pool so we started out there, letting him sit in our laps, but he didn't exactly love it. Of course he had also gotten struck by the wonderful spray of an older boy's water gun or should I say water cannon? Those things have gotten much bigger since I was a kid! We were eventually able to take him to the big pool which I think he liked better. He just stared at the people and the water trying to figure it out and as long as we were holding him he was just fine.
