Part 2: Pedicures and Pool

One of the first couple days, we girls went for pedicures.
The Cassons weren't there yet, and Neely went with the boys. Paige LOVED feeling big and getting her feet done.
She couldn't quite get her feet down low enough in the tub, but they filled it with water and she stretched her body out until she could get close enough.
She watched us get ours done first, and saw all the tools, and asked me to tell them she didn't want them to do any of that, JUST paint her nails. But she did end up letting her do the salt scrub and stuff like that.
She requested a flower on each big toe and each thumb.
Showing off her fingers along with Lauren:
After the Cassons arrived, we put all the kids in the tshirts Aunt Mollie had made for them, and had a little photo shoot.
I like Neely's chubby smiley face in this last one.
Then we took them all to the pool.
Paige is next to me right now, looking at these pictures:
And said "I had soooo much fun."

Sadly, I realized it was the first time Cason had been to a real pool. It took him a while, and some help from Grama Trudi to get started, but he really started having fun.
The babies hung out at the shallow end of the pool, mostly. It was Neely's first time at the pool too. There was a little fountain thing at that end, and Neely tried to grab it and sent water spraying into her's and Liam's faces. They both cried for a few seconds, but then recovered nicely.
Eventually I took Neely to the car to feed her, and after a while everyone was done swimming, so Jess came back looking like this:
I guess he and Colton had a diving contest, going for distance, not depth. But the pool became suddenly shallower, and Jess scraped his FACE on the bottom! So much for having Michael take family pictures for us.
