bear goes for a swim

my parents bought beau a cute little baby pool for the summer. it's finally getting warm enough outside for it and my dad wasted no time in setting it all up. we went over to parents for dinner after work/ daycare and my dad was outside waiting for beau to get changed into his swimsuit. 

beau wasn't a fan of the pool at first. i don't think he cared for the colder-than-the-bath water. also, i forgot to bring water friendly toys out. probably not the best first introduction to the pool. once i got some toys involved & he got used to the water, he warmed up a bit to it and started splashing around. 



we'll work on it. 

all my love,

a parisian weekend

bobby and i took a fast train to paris last weekend to meet up with two of his friends from college. it was interesting getting to hear bobby's college stories and learning about the things they did in those years. definitely different from what i experienced at byu! it was all good fun talking and such. the food was amazing, too. we had one of the best breakfasts while were there and, let's be honest, crepes are one of the best foods on earth and no place is better to eat them than france. we only got to see the eiffel tower and notre dame while we were there as it was such a short visit. both sites were gorgeous. spring is in full bloom and i love it!




the only downside to the whole weekend was the weather. typical rainy, european weather. also, the line for the catacombs was horrendously long and, if we had waited it out, we could have missed our return train home. that was a bummer.


but it's paris & paris is always a good idea. i hope we get to go back soon!

all my love,
