Day 3 in Stockton...

We are still happy to report that all is well with us in Stockton. We were able to head back to the pool today and the weather was perfect!!Libs was a bit hesitant at first, but soon she was "swimming" like a pro.By swimming I mean hanging on to one of us and attempting to kick. She is getting better about keeping her mouth closed.Granpa was our pool photographer for the day-- here Libs is waving to him and saying, "Hello Gran-pa!"Today we spent more time in the shallow end where Libs could stand up on her own. She really enjoyed splashing around and watching the big kids swim.By the end of the afternoon she was getting braver and walking further and further into the pool. We are hoping to enroll her in lessons in August so we can keep on this roll!!After naps for Mommy and Libi we headed to the Friday night hot-spot, Bob's on the Marina for our weekly hamburgers.Libs enjoyed the fries....and her very own slider!She went back and forth-- burger, fry, burger, fry-- until Mommy brought out some apples then it went burger, apple, burger, apple, etc. After dinner Granpa took Libs down to the docks to check out the boats-- one of their favorite after-dinner passtimes. This boat was my favorite-- all decked out for the 4th. When we walked by a very nice man beckoned Libs and I toward the boat...and gave Libs a pinwheel and a patriotic bear.She was so thrilled with these gifts-- it was very sweet of this man to be so kind!Every 4th since Libs was little we've taken a picture at Bob's. Here we are today....This was last year-- yes I know I'm wearing the exact same shirt, pin and earrings but I promise you it's been washed since then :) I think I need some new patriotic gear!!This was Libs first 4th of July trip to Bob's! Wasn't this a fun trip down memory lane???

On the way out of the marina we noticed that several of the geese who were living there were standing on one leg, so Libs and Ron modeled for us. These two are so silly! Libs is going to miss Daddy when he leaves for UCSB tomorrow! After dinner we brought Uncle Bob, Aunt Renia, Anni and Mackenna back to Jammy and Granpa's house to play. Libs decided to model her star-burst headband she brought for the 4th.Daddy put on the "Chihuahua Song" for Libs and the girls to dance to and my daughter cracker herself up!!She's quite a dancer-- look at that form!!One moment she was dancing and running through the family room...
next she was in her own little world!Aunt Renia even helped her take a picture of Mommy-- I will not show you that picture because Mommy wasn't prepared to be the subject of a photo :)By the end of the night she was tired and SUPER dramatic when she didn't get her way!!! After all the energy she expended today we are anticipating a very good night's sleep!
