The Buhl Family: July 2009

Richfield Pool

It has been at least 15 years since

I have been to the Richfield Pool.

You know...back when you didn't mind wearing the

swimsuit without the cover up!

Well, last week I had a couple of days off with Evan so we went to the pool with our Scanlon girlfriends.

We had a GREAT time!

The kiddie pool depth starts at zero feet and gradually increases.

Perfect for Evan, who was having his first water experience outside of the bathtub.

With every step in the water he would make such a joyful giggle.

Never far from his trusty bucket and shovel.

Fun in the Sun

Perfect sized pool for two perfect sized cousins!

Evan (1 year, 4 months) and Sadee (2 years)

4th of July

We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday!

On July 3rd we went to the Richfield Street Dance. Evan had a great time exploring, dancing, and staying up late. (It is funny how 'late' becomes 10pm when you are parents of a toddler)

On Saturday we went to the parade with Nichole and Jack.

I am not sure how much of the parade I actually saw since Evan was more interested getting to know all of the other spectators sitting around us. He wanted to eat their food, play with their toys and hug strangers when he got tired and needed a snuggle.

We made it home after the parade just in time before Mother Nature decided to give the city a rain shower!

Since we had so much fun the night before at the dance, we didn't make it to the fireworks this year, but Evan and I did enjoy some that were being displayed on Channel 4. I know, I know, not the same thing, but I swear we'll try for the real thing next year!

Blair Family Get-Together

The Blair side of the family got together in June at my grandparents house in Edina, all the Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandkids, Sisters and Brothers that can make it, for an all family birthday party.

It was nice to see everyone, and it gave Evan an opportunity to wish his Grandpa David a belated Happy Father's Day!
