No rain so far, but it did storm around us last night. The lightning was reddish-orange. Strange color. I hope it stays clear tonight for the meteor shower.

We had the very best day today!! The amazing Em and her mom and dad are here for the weekend. We met them at the hotel very late last night. We all met this noon at the hotel to go swimming, even the babies. I had ALL my kids together today. We went to lunch at our Italian restaurant across the street. It was wonderful. We got Em a floaty thing that had a seat with holes for her legs. She's not too sure about pools yet. The last time, she screamed bloody murder, but she didn't give me the death grip! This time I was ready for her. LOLOL I had a life vest, the penquin float thing, AND a new bubble guppy doll that goes in the water!! Her hair changes color when it gets wet and cold. No tears and her mom and I even had her blowing bubbles in the water. We tried to get her to kick, but she just wouldn't relax enough. By the end, she was really trying to work out how to do that swimming thing the rest of us were doing!!

Little baby K floated around until she got cold, then her other grandma took her into the hot tub. It wasn't turned on, but the water was warmer. She fell asleep in her little infant float.

I wish y'all could've seen them all. The babies were hugging and kissing each other and my 2 oldest were picking on each other, just like they used to. Everyone did better than just behave, they all had fun. It was the best!
