I had forgotten how easy it was to just have one kid. I'm not saying it's easy by any means, but after having two kids, I realize how I wish I had taken advantage of the time I had with just one. Thanks to Rachel, the best sister in the world, I was able to spend almost the whole day on Sunday with Just Eli and some of my friends and their boys.
I decided when we were invited back to visit my friends Paige, Sarah and their families on their yearly trip to New Braunfels, that I would take both boys. Last minute I decided that would be a little too ambitious, and why not just take Eli and
really enjoy myself instead of being stressed and worried about meals and naps and making sure both boys are safe in the pool and the like. Good call.
Just one year ago, we were
here, Owen was just a few weeks from being born. And lucky for us, this year we had an extra friend come along, Will and Melanie.
Melanie picked us up, and Eli and Will ignored each other the whole drive down.
Until we got out of the car, and then they were instant besties.
Just look at these cute boys.
They could not wait to get down to the pool. Eli is a pretty cautious kid, especially when it comes to water. But he has certainly surprised me a few times already this summer....but NOTHING that compares to this kid:
Cute little Peter was happily dunked into the water, would dive head first into the water, and even accidentally fell into the water and came out with a HUGE smile on his face. Fearless. And could not be cuter!!!
The others pretty much stuck to the top step, but still had a blast.
Bo made a B-line to his bed for a much needed nap, and the others grabbed a bite to eat before we took off to come back home.
Apparently, the boys couldn't get out of there fast enough!
