On our second day with Copeland we went to Picnic Park (a.k.a. Jumping Bridge Park) and our favorite Peachtree City pool, Pebble Pocket. First we went to the park. Copeland and Eli generally explored on their own. Fortunately they were together on the Space Shuttle, or as Eli calls it -- Blastoff, and the swings for some good photo ops.
Then, we went to the pool. We decided that Eli and Copeland have opposite problems. Eli is probably too cautious. He has no interest in getting his face wet and generally doesn't like to be splashed. On the other hand, Copeland probably doesn't have enough fear. She thinks she can swim and seems irritated when you try to hold on to her. But, the second she wriggles out of your grasp she dives in face first, mouth wide open, and tries to swallow half the pool!
Besides watching and playing with the toddlers, Scott, Amber, Ashley and I had a great time chatting. It was fun to compare notes with Amber and try to catch up on the last few years. Too bad all of them don't live closer. :(
*Thanks Grandmas for taking all the pictures! I know it was a hot and rather thankless job, I really appreciate it.
Tonight, Scott and I went out on our second date since Eli was born. I know -- crazy! We were planning on going out with the gang to catch the new Batman, but all the excitement pushed back Eli's nap considerably and we weren't able to make the movie. We'd been talking about how Eli was going to be a big boy and stay at Dendi's with Aunt Lora, Copeland and Dendi while Mommy and Daddy went bye-bye. He seemed interested, so we dropped him off anyway and went out for Five Guys' burgers and Cold Stone Ice Cream. It was fun, but we both missed him, and realized that we'd generally rather be with him than without him.
