Pool Party!

    I don't know if you all are aware, but there's been a heat wave going on. So, being the thoughtful parents that we are, we went out and bought Martha Rose a kiddie pool. It was no easy feat, either. The first place we went to was completely sold out.
    But, we finally managed to get our hands on one and it's super cute, too! It's purple, shaped like a hippo and it sprays water into the pool. We showed it to our nephew, Gil, and he promptly proclaimed it to be a pool for babies. However, he gamely decided to put on his bathing suit and keep his little cousin company regardless.

    Unfortunately, one of us parents had to get into the pool with her (lest she tip over and under), and I ended up drawing the short straw. At least Martha Rose really seemed to enjoy it.

First we had to wait for the pool to fill up:

 Then it was time for us to hop in!

 It didn't take long for Martha Rose to start enjoying herself.

 

Noble and Gil took advantage of my vulnerable position by dumping cold water on my head. Repeatedly.

 Martha Rose decided to just kick back and relax.

 All in all, it was a nice little scene.
 

When it was time to dry off, she looked so cute in her little pig towel that I was forced to post more shots of her in it than were strictly necessary.

 

 Martha Rose wanted to show off her 2 piece to its best advantage:

 Please note, also, the matching bathrobe.

  

This was Gil's idea of posing with Martha Rose. I tried taking another picture, but he managed to hide his face even more. 

Well, that's all for now! I hope you all found ways to beat the heat as well. 

Until next time!
