Ready for the Holiday!

I am very ready for the holiday weekend! We are hitting the pool at Peggy's tomorrow with Measer, then will be going to Grandma Dot's for a big cookout at the lake for lunch on Saturday. After that, we will hit the pool at Uncle Mark's for another big cook-out, then back to Grandma Dot's to watch the fireworks that night. Busy, busy day but should be a TON of fun!

Last Friday, we took Gabriel to Kool Park Pool, which is a place I used to go to as a kid. It is a huge pool (bigger than a football field) and a large portion of it is only 18 inches deep, and Gabried LOVED it. It also has a water slide and we must have went down it 20 times. There are tons of picnic tables that are shaded and you can bring in your own coolers, floats, etc. The only rules are no alcohol and no glass. It was so much fun and we are planning on going again sometime this summer.

I did a knitting class Tuesday at the library. It was for beginners, so I didn't really learn anything new, but the lady that taught the class is very experienced and is planning on doing more classes, so I am hoping to go back and learn more. I used to knit a lot (thanks Maryellen for teaching me!) but all I really made was scarves and 2 ponchos and I really want to do more. I would love to make a big cozy blanket for my house to keep on the sofa.
