Pool Party!

While I was visiting Jennie and Matt and the girls in PA, my niece Sarah came up with her two boys, Aidan and Kieran. Since it was blazing hot, we got out the pool and the Elmo sprinkler. Lots of fun was had by everybody under eight. Lots of envy was felt by the rest of us! I want a pool! Chloe cools off.

Chloe explains to Ella that she'll soon get used to the very cold water.

Aidan and Kieran go round and round, getting wetter and wetter.

Aidan was a sweetie and climbed in the pool with Ella to help her sit up and splash. For our family, this was the first time that the four great-grandchildren of Roy and Zella Peters Penley have gotten together.

You're a trooper Aidan!

Just so you can see what these cute boys look like, Aidan and Kieran posed with their Mom, Sarah, in the backyard. And yes, they both have mohawks! When they come visiting in Virginia, I'm getting a picture with that hair slicked up!

While the little girls napped, Sarah and the boys and I went to the playground, and then took a drive down memory lane. More on that later. Here Monkey Boy Aidan gets brave!

Kieran was pretty brave, too, and slid down this big (and hot!) sliding board.
