My Swimming Pool

It is REALLY hot here in New Braunfels. And we are in a serious drought so it really hasn't rained since we moved. Our grass is brown, we are watering our flowers like crazy (but we are banned from sprinkling our yard), and we're scared to see what our first electricity bill will be. yikes!
BUT...the heat did call for a baby pool for Audrey. And she loves it. When she wants to get in she says "ish, ish" (fish in Audrey language..and there are fish all around the sides of the pool) and she does the bath sign. It was so hot we just stripped her down to a swim diaper and chunked her in. No need for a bathing suit.
Here we are sharing some ice chips.

She did like them, despite the face she is making.

Now this is a regular sign for Audrey. She puts her hands up and says "wha?" or "whas tha?" anytime she wants to know what something is or where someone went. It's her question look. And it's pretty cute. I think this all started when we would knock over blocks and I would put my hands up and say "what happened?" she's done it ever since in any question situation.





And there you have it, the only way to survive a hot Texas afternoon.
