This Memorial Day weekend we headed off to Yuma, AZ. We visited Tia Paty and Tio Joe and their kids: Joshua, Monica, Diego, Fiona and Tommy. We had a really good time, especially Emma who spent almost the whole time swimming (they have a swimming pool). Saturday when we got there, the first thing she did was put on her swimming suit and get in the water, she was there for almost two hours. Then we went to the Colorado river which is great because it has this beautiful beach, smooth sandy bottom, and most of the river is about knee high deep. So the kids can really play and enjoy the water (with parental supervision of course) and just cool off from the Summer heat. Although it was really hot. It was actually really windy. REALLY windy. The river area was packed so we decided to go home and just grill the hamburgers there. Melina and Jose and their kids were also with us. So we all went to Paty's home and again, Emma went right into the pool. She was the last one to come out of the pool to eat and as soon as she did, went back in the pool. She did not come out until about 8 or 8:30 p.m.Sunday was nice and relaxing. We went to church and listened to some good classes and talks. Pedrito was fuzzy in the beginning and then he fell asleep and didn't wake up until the end of the meetings. We played "Basta" in the evening and got some good laughs out of the words everyone wrote. Like for "Thing" category, Joe wrote 'flu-shot'. Really? First time I see somebody think of that one :D.
Monday it was time to say goodbye to Joshua and Diego who went to a camping trip to San Diego (lucky...) for the whole week. Then it was time for Emma and the pool. Around noon we decided to go back to the river before coming home. Paty bought some pizzas and we ate on a shady spot at the park. Emma was in the water up until the last minute (around 4 p.m.) before we left. We had some snow cones before we left Yuma. It was a fun and relaxing weekend. We'll see how the rest of the Summer goes... :S
