The Celebrations.

For Baylee's Birthday we had John's family, and My brother Sean and Nephew Tyler come over Saturday night for a BBQ and swimming. We had Hamburgers, 7 layer dip and chips that my brother made. It was really yummy. We also had Veggie and Fruit Platters and then opened presents and had cake. Everyone went swimming and visited. It was a nice time with everyone.

Then on Monday the actual day of Baylee's birthday, John and I wanted to do something special with just our family. So we took Baylee to her favorite swimming spot. It is in Chandler. It is a community pool where they have a big play area for kids and toddlers to swim. They have slides, splash pad, whirlpool, lazy river, Big slides for older kids, Olympic size pool with diving boards, all sorts of things for kids to play in and be able to cool off from the heat. The water in the toddler area is pretty shallow and so the kids are able to swim and walk around pretty easily and play. Baylee absolutely loves this place. So we spent a few hours swimming and then went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and then went over to Paradise Bakery to get cookies. Baylee is like her Daddy and loves to eat cookies. So all in all we had a blast celebrating Baylee. We love her so much and are so glad that she is in our family. Here are some pics of the celebrations.



Here is Baylee With her new tricycle that John and I got her for her Birthday. She has been loving it. It is a Little Mermaid bike. It makes all these fun noises and even blows bubbles. She isn't quite tall enough to reach the pedals. I think in a few short months she will be able to ride the pedals instead of having to push herself around.

Here is Baylee running through the splash pad that they have at the pool. She loves to watch the water come up and spray out of the fountain and then run away.

Here is Baylee going down one of the slides. She loves to hang on the bar over her head and then drop down and slide.

Here are her and John playing with the cords that you can pull down and water comes pouring out of a spout above your head.

Here is a view of the Big play area at the pool. As you can see it really is a fun place for kids. In the summertime this place is packed. I think we went at a good time. It was after John got off work and it was going to be closing in like 2 hours. So it was fun with not a whole lot of people.
