Weekend

We had a nice low key weekend around town. On Saturday we took a nice long walk around silver spring and caught the farmers market in downtown ss and then spent the afternoon at Aunt Josephine's pool. Lula has made excellent strides with her swimming capabilities. Can't wait to get Arthur in the pool with Mrs. Danver. Sunday we had a nice lazy morning, went to carters birthday party, and then to Arthur's soccer practice. 

While at the pool Arthur spotted a slug. Have you ever really looked at a slug up close? They are gross and totally fascinating. We spent a lot of time inches away from that slug. We traced the shiny trail he left behind him and looked closely at his creepy body. When another little girl arrived at the pool Arthur was yelling to her about the slug, likening the slug to his other animal, a caterpillar named tickles. Can you imagine how confused that child must have been? 

The lifeguard at aunt Josephine's pool was a round scrawny guy named Alex. He spent a lot of the time sitting in his lifeguard chair on the side of the pool. Arthur kept referring to him as a fireman. We must have corrected him a dozen times but still he shouted goodbye fireman as we were leaving.
