Memorial Day



On Memorial Day we celebrated by cooling off at the pool, unfortunately we didn't take our camera to that. In the evening we went to Bond Park and grilled up some shish kabobs and hot dogs with some of our friends. We've had some record highs for May, and it is HOT and HUMID! Last week Cambry also decided she wanted to be an independent walker, and hasn't stopped. At the barbecue her whole head was drenched with sweat and her cheeks were cherry red because despite it being 92 degrees and 90 percent humidity (at 6pm!) she couldn't seem to hold still for more than 3 seconds. She is such a happy girl when she's busy. I took her little sun dress off hoping to cool her down.

Devin was extra manly and slaved over the grill most of the evening. What a trooper he was...I wasn't really good about taking pictures. I'm still learning the art of keeping an eye on Cambry on the go and having an eye for photo opps.

Here are some of our favorite people in Cary. We've been really fortunate to make really good friends here. Even though it was extra hot, things always seem so much more tolerable when you're in good company.
I splashed this little rascal a lot in the drinking fountain and she turned into a big sticky, sweaty mess with a very full diaper from drinking fountain run off. She ended up being the white trash baby that just walked around in nothing but her diaper. She's cute white trash though.
Random Pic: For the past month or so, I've been taking Cambry outside for walks after her morning nap and let her walk and explore. Since it's too hot outside, I now take her indoors to big warehouse stores such as Target, Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, REI, etc and let her be the guide. Here she is at Lowes patting the row of carpet samples. She is so curious- she loves these adventures (and also takes REALLY good afternoon naps after one of these outings). She seems to be most interested in standing where other people are already standing, things wrapped in plastic, metal objects that make a lot of noise when you drop them, and shiny things.

  1. Haha, love the walks in the stores...I totally have relied on Target for the past few years to entertain us and now its 40 minutes away...ahhhhh, its been really hard, really. Isnt it crazy how hot it has been-we hit 100 yesterday and today...last summer I would take the kids to the park right after breakfast like 7am, becasue it was the only time the slides wouldnt give them 3rd degree burns:)

  2. Remember how we chatted about the word never? Saying, when I am a mom I will never....blah blah blah...and then you become a mother and it all changes. Guess when your kid is red hot and its beyond humid your mind changes a bit. I love that you let little Camber's and her red cheeks run around in her diaper. Miss you!!!
