Maya, at the birthday party
Saturday started with Guillermo's swim lessons. Maya, dressed in her swim suit and coverup, was pretty disappointed at the Y when she learned she could not swim too. I hope I don't have to take her back, but Will was out of town so I had no choice. We left swim lessons and went to a birthday party for one of Maya's friends. Maya was so excited about the party she woke up Saturday morning and immediately started talking about it. "Birthday party?" "Present."
It was a swimming party and my kids were great. Guillermo must have missed Will because he splashed and squirted and played with the birthday girl's father nearly the whole time we were in the pool. Most of the kids at party was 2 or younger and he didn't have much use for them. After the party, Guillermo's good friend came over and not long after he left, Will came home. That night at bed, I asked Maya the question I ask her every night. Did you have fun today? What made you happy? Her response that night: "Cake. Birthday." Funny. I asked her on Friday what made her happy and she said the same thing. "Cake. Birthday."
Today, we took the kids to Jordan Lake. I love lakes. I think I like them more than oceans, which is probably strange to people here since the ocean is so close. But, every summer growing up, we would spend at least a week at the lake, camping, skiing, and playing. And making s'mores. Ahh, s'mores. Yumm.
Today, we found a shady spot under a tree and hit the water. Guillermo had so much fun and felt pretty confident in the water. When he got tired, we built a castle and a moat, though the moat was the more impressive feature of our creation. Maya spent most of the morning with Will. We came home to watch the Euro Cup (Yeah Spain) and Will was giddy with Guillermo cuddled up next to him, cheering on Spain. He even skipped his radio show so you know he must have been enjoying himself to drop his two-hour dose of jazz.
