Swimming

Last weekend my parents came up for the weekend. it was so nice to see them. Cooper and Julie loved having them around, i think that they got a little spoiled with their attention, but its ok. They stayed at Weston Inn and we played in the pool, it was fun. both kids loved the water. I think they get that from their dad. the first night they were both tired and onery. so we didnt stay long, but they had fun. the second night at the pool, cooper was playing around and swallowed some water, which i thought he was just spitting out, come to find out he was throwing up. Yuck! he threw up chocolate in the pool, so i hurried and got him out. As soon as i got him out he threw up noodles, it was sooo gross.

Heres Julie, she was way tired and grumpy, doesnt look like it, but she really likes her picture taken.

Coopers in the Hot tub, he liked in here except that he couldnt be in there without grandma or grandpa.

Grandpa is helping him walk around the edge of the hot tub.

what a cute boy. This is just before he threw up.

Look at that pretty girl!
Her swimming suit is getting too small.
