Memorial Day fun with Izzy and family

We celebrated Memorial Day with Izzy and family.  They graciously invited us over for a cookout and we happily took them up on it!  While the daddies were tending to the grill, the kiddos wanted a little snack, so they shared some Cracklin' Oat Bran.  Aren't they cute at this little table!

This little one, whom Nathan fondly refers to as "eeeesa" has some killer blue eyes doesn't she?

Well, while the steaks were cooking on the grill, it seemed the perfect opportunity to let the kiddos play in Izzy's baby pool.  No sooner did we fill up the pool, and the rain began to fall.  Since there was no thunder or lightening, we let the swimming continue and I happily (I mean selfishly) deemed myself the photographer.

Meanwhile, Bethany, sweet sweet friend and mommy and wife, is standing in the rain (with her hubby who's grilling, and my hubby who's watching) supervising the kiddos.  See the rain falling around her?  

The rain continues to get harder, and the kiddos keep playing (mind you only about 2 minutes have passed since the first drops).

As seen in this pic, Nathan decided enough was enough.  It looks like he's telling Izzy it's time to go inside and dry off.

Distracted by the chance to pour water, he happily plays a bit longer, as does Izzy.  No problem to me! Remember, I'm safely and "dryly" taking pics, while the other three adults are standing fully clothed in the rain.

Nathan has finally had enough! 

 A picture worth a thousand words!

Izzy, not so ticked off by the rain, happy to play in the warm baby pool - most of the water was from the tap inside where it was warmed!

Having had enough of the pool, and the rain, Nathan climbs to the top of the slide, only to protest one more time with this face.  (Remember, I'm standing in the open doorway 2 feet from him, so he could have just walked inside, rather he gave me the opportunity to shoot this great shot!).

The whole swimming event lasted less than 5 minutes, but 2 soaked babies and 3 soaked adults later, it all seemed worth it, at least to me! :)  Hee hee.  As for my little man, pooped.  Hubby?  Enjoying the pooped snuggles of a little one!  Bethany?  She's one tough cookie and was not phased by the rain, nor was her hubby the grill master of the evening.  Izzy?  Like her momma and daddy, completely unphased!  

What a fun night guys!  Thanks for cooking and for sharing the evening with us!  We'll see you soon!
