a splash

Last Thursday, Annie, Danny, Melia, Sophie, and my dad met us ( Jonah, Mara, Jackson and myself) at the swimming pool. we had a great time.

Melia was not feeling well so she really didn't have the best time but I am sure that she and Mara were very happy to be able to see each other. ( that is why there are no pictures of Melia) I was quite happy to see Annie and her cute little family.
