Sunny afternoon

After church today we took the kids, and Kim, and headed west to Aunt Maureen's house.  It's great to visit family, add in a beautiful pool in the countryside and that's a great Sunday afternoon!!

Emma was in the water for a good three hours before the shade cooled thing down and the pizza arrived!

But the fun didn't end there, we hung out and visited for a while.

Emma got cozy with John, Scott's cousin Lisa's boyfriend!

He kept rescuing her from Lucy, the family Pomeranian.  Although Toby took to Lucy and bonded with her!

The kids helped water the thirsty plants

And because Aunt Maureen and Uncle John have a doggy resort, the kids got to see all other kinds of dogs, including this big guy!

Emma protests that she doesn't like dogs, but in reality she doesn't like jumpy barking dogs!  So behind a gate they are fine, or the cute little Havanese we met who she fondly rubbed on the head saying "who's a cutie?!"  (Havanese don't shed and she was very friendly and soft - have to remember that for when we want to grow the family!!

It was such a nice afternoon, thanks guys!
