My cousin H and C came to my house for a “play date” on Sunday. We couldn’t decide what to do. Great America? Gilroy Gardens? Water Park? Beach? Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk? None of these ideas worked. We decided to go to H’s house and swim in her pool.

My mom hauled us 5 kids to Wallmart. We bought chips, soda, and baby sim diapers for baby J. Then we went to Subway for lunch.

We sunblocked and ate lunch in my cousin’s backyard. We then began swimming in the pool. It was super cold but felt so good in the hot sun. Great day for swimming! My mom and baby brother stayed in the shaded hot tub while us kids splashed in the pool.

My cousins, my brother, and I played lots of games including noodle wars, Marco Polo, Fish Out of Water, diving, jumps, races, and just plain messin’ around! It was a fun day.
