*The Daily Haley & Dylan*: Watery days

Yesterday was a study in perfection. Week days really don't come any better than yesterday did (with the exception of the most insane diaper explosion I have ever personally witnessed.)

The morning started with a walk at the fairgrounds and into the woods with the Dickerson clan. After the walk, Heather & I sat and nursed the babies in the shelter house while the kids ran around, played on the stage, and ate chocolate covered pretzels. Then we all came back to our house for backyard play time, sprinkler action, and lunch. After lunch, we went our separate ways for nap time. We had gloriously long naps, and I eventually had to wake Dylan up at 4:15 because she'd been asleep for 2 hrs and 45 minutes!

It's been so swelteringly hot & humid here in the afternoons that it's pretty impossible to do anything outside besides be in water. All the pools are closed, so we decided to go to "Logan Beach" as Dyl calls it (Lake Logan, really.) We called Chadmo and he headed out of work earlier than usual and met us at the lake. We had a great time swimming for about an hour & half until our Pizza Crossing was delivered! Then we had a pizza picnic lakeside (dairy is definitely still a fail for Blake. Sad, but it was a delicious test.)

After dinner we all headed home for baths. Then we watched some "Homeward Bound" before bed. The kids both went to bed fairly easily, and Chad and I had time for wine and 1 while hour of grown up TV. Perfection!

Today we've been suffering from "everyday can't be as cool as yesterday" syndrome, and the fact that I had to accomplish some housework. Blake was pretty miserable from the dairy exposure, and Dyl was just generally a grouch. But we ended the day on a high note by going swimming at Fred & Susie's! Angie, Lauren, & Ben were there too, and it was a great time! Definitely a cool way to spend another hot evening. :) Now let's hope everyone sleeps better tonight than they napped today!

Dyl finally conned Henry into holding her hand...
