Daredevil

It seems that I may have a little daredevil on my hands.  Actually, I very likely have two! But more on that in a minute....
Yesterday morning I had to run to the bank, utility company, etc.... I thought it probably wasn't much for them to get all loaded up in the car and not get to do anything fun so we stopped by Grandaddy's office.  He wasn't there so I decided to make an impromptu park visit.  I have memories of going to the Greenbelt as a kid and feeding the ducks. I figured Drew and Anna would enjoy seeing the ducks so we headed that way.  Well, to my surprise, they were doing work at the Greenbelt so there were no ducks in site (or even water for that matter) but there was something that may have been just as fun.... heavy machinery! We saw big dump trucks, bulldozers, etc... We went for a quick walk in the stroller and then stopped to watch the guys as they worked.  One of the dump truck drivers drove by and even honked his horn.  It was way exciting!
 Just watching and having a little snack.
 Moving dirt with big loud machines is so exciting!
We had a casualty while we were there.  Anna Kate spit her "papise" out to get a drink of water and it rolled right under the railing to a grassy area with no access.  Bye-bye "papise"! She actually handled it a lot better than I thought she would.

John Clay got finished with work early yesterday so after lunch and naps we went swimming at Aunt Helen and Ninnie's house!  It was so nice that he got to go with us.  Drew and Anna Kate are getting more comfortable with the water and have a lot of fun when we go swimming.  John Clay dove off of the diving board so you know what happened next don't you?  My little daredevil, Drew, had to do it too!  He jumped right off the diving board to his Daddy in the water several times. He has no fear!  Sister came over to the diving board like she was going to do it too but never did.  I think she would have if she hadn't been cold.  Mamaw Katherine and Papaw Hubert came by too and Papaw Hubert got in and swam with us.  Drew and Anna Kate liked when Papaw dove into the water too.  They would have stayed there all night if it wasn't already over an hour past their dinner time.  I see a lot of pool time in our future this summer!
