But this summer hasn't been all lounging around. We try to go to the pools as often as we can. At the beginning of the summer she was ecstatic to get into the pools but then for some reason she decided she didn't like them. We would get all packed up, lotioned from head to toe and drive out to one of our favorite pools here in The Woodlands. We get the rafts all blown up and everything ready for a fun day in the water and as soon as one toe hit that water, it was all cries and tears. She would quickly retreat back to our chairs and plop down for some good ol' fashion people watching. It would take quite an effort from us to finally get her in the water for any length of time but it didn't last. Finally in the last week or so, she has realized that pool time is actually fun and now has decided that she loves it again. Go figure.
On the days when it's just too hot for humans to be outside, which lately has been just about every single day, we go up to the mall for a little playtime. The Woodlands Mall has a great enclosed play area for kids with all kinds of things to climb on and under. It's kind of this enchanted forest theme. Even though there are a thousand kids there on any given day and it smells a little like feet, Cailin seems to have a blast and it's really cute watching her play.
These pictures are actually older pictures of the last time we took a trip to Burleson. Cailin's cousin Brayden was about a month old at this time. I'm pretty sure Cailin just thought that he was some kind of moving baby doll and was a little confused why she couldn't carry him around by his legs and throw him across the room like she does with her other baby dolls.
She was also pretty jealous of the binkie Brayden got to have. I think she was having flashbacks of the good ol days.
