Visit to Plano

Last week, we made the four hour drive up to Plano to visit Neon and Noah.  Finley did fantastic on the drive up, we left right at nap time and she was asleep very quickly.  I think it helped that she was tired out from swim lessons in the morning.  The kids had so much fun playing together after we arrived.  Finley was so exhausted that she slept in to nearly 10 am the next morning.  We headed off to the neighborhood pool and splash pad.  Finley was really wary of the splash pad at first.  She climbed the stairs to go down the waterslide and when she reached the top, water starting gushing straight up.  It really frightened her, so she didn't make it down the slide.  Once she realized that water splashing was part of the deal, she got used to it and I couldn't stop her from going up and down the slide.  She must have gone at least 20 times.  And she even went down the big blue covered slide.  She had such a blast.  For the afternoon, we played in Neon's pool in their backyard.  Finley is a little fish and loved jumping off the side of the pool into the deep end.  She wasn't super sold on wearing water wings like Noah, but it made it much easier for all the jumping.  We headed back to Houston the next day after a morning of play in the pool.  I thought the pool would wear her out for the drive home, but she ended up being awake for most of the journey. Sorry that there aren't any swimming pics, but the splash pad was not conducive to photography. The kids control where the water sprays and I would have ended up with a soaked camera.
