Fun first day of summer!

This afternoon we went swimming. We weren't sure we'd be able to because thunderstorms were predicted. There were a few pop-up showers, but that just made the weather hotter and more steamy - perfect for a swim!

I think its pretty obvious from these pictures that Allie LOVED the pool. At 4:20 we had to get out for the 10-minute safety check. Allie cried and didn't want to come out. We finally wrangled her and decided to head home because we'd been there almost an hour. We didn't want to do too much for our first time at the pool.

After the pool we went out to a nice dinner at Panera. Allie had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and yogurt. If every restaurant had PBJ, going out to eat wouldn't be a problem! After we finished our dinner we walked over to Cold Stone Creamery. Allie shared with our ice cream and loved it. She had her own spoon and enjoyed having bites, whether she got something on the spoon or not. She made quite a mess of herself. I didn't have the camera though to capture that fun!

For the second part of our vacation we're heading down toward St. Louis to see Aunt Julie, cousins Carson and Cole along with Grandma and Grandpa Durso! We're looking forward to seeing them and having even more summer adventures.
