Bye Bye Macie

Our good friends Matt and Kendra are moving to WISCONSIN! What??? Matt got a new job in Wisconsin so in less than 2 weeks they are leaving us. They have a little girl, Macie, who Kate loves. They are in the same Bible Fellowship class at church and Macie is how we get Kate in the door with no tears most Sundays. We are so sad they are moving...

We had one last playdate this morning at Jack Carter pool with Macie and one of Kate's other good buds, Pierce. I heart Jack Carter pool. It is one of the only pools I enjoy taking Kate to. It is perfect for her age...totally fenced in, no more than 2 ft. deep and there is so much for her to do. She can run and splash all over the place.

Here is a picture of the pool...it has 2 slides...a red one, which Kate has done a few times, and then this "big blue slide."

Guess who is going down the big blue slide now???? Pierce! What a big boy. He is 6 weeks younger than Kate and loves the big blue slide.

And since he went down, SO DID KATE!!!! I was at the top with her so I didn't get any pictures, but I think Joanna might have gotten one. If so, I will post it later.

The last 2 times we've come to this pool, all Kate has wanted to do is go up and down these stairs. It is quite the popular place for all these little ones...

But today she was more interested in playing in the water. She splashed and jumped and sat and crawled for an hour! It was the best she has ever played at the pool. It was so fun to watch her have so much fun!

She loves turning these wheels. When you turn them, water sprays out everywhere.

Sweet Macie, who Kate is going to miss...

And Kate's favorite part of swimming...the SNACK BREAK!

What a fun playdate. We are going to miss the Halls so much!
