Yesterday Julianna and I met Grammy and Aunt Stephanie over at a county park that has a new, and really nice "Splashground". It is an area that is full of fountains that shoot water up from the ground. It was so great because it had a HUGE tent over the top so that the kids (and parents) aren't standing/playing in the blazing sun. And though there were a lot of kids, it didn't feel over-crowded at all and the big kids were really considerate and in most cases down right sweet to the little ones. I was really thrilled with it and Julianna had a really great time - though she was a little thief, trying to steal everyone else's toys. I have a feeling we will be spending quite a bit of time there this summer.

Oh, and I meant to tell the funniest story last post. Julianna was in her highchair eating dinner the other night and Ryan asked her who was the greatest, mama or dada? Then we both started in, I saying "mama" and Ryan saying "dada", back and forth several times. Julianna didn't say anything for the longest time, then looked us right in the eyes and said "kitty-kitty". We just died. I think Ryan and I definitely got our just desserts!

I also have to say that tomorrow, June 7th, is a big day for so many people that are very important to us. Happy Birthday Stephanie! Happy Birthday Andy! Happy Anniversary Richard and Alina! We love you all!! It is also Ryan's late paternal grandfather's (Granddaddy Fox) birthday. Wow, what a day!

Here are a few pics from yesterday. Almost all of them have a decidedly blue cast because of the big blue awning over the fountains.
