For Patrick's birthday weekend (yes clearly behind on posting again) it was a great mix of hot on Saturday and nice and springy (i.e. not so hot) on Sunday. Patrick and Evie both have been itching to get into our pool and finally were able to fulfill that desire on Saturday. The water was really still pretty cold, 70 degrees, and when the wind kicked up it seemed a bit more like torture than fun to me but by god a swim in the pool was had. After a nap Izzy joined in too and seeing them all have such fun I decided to take a dip as well. I managed to dive in 3 times before I decided trying to swim in a cold pool was not my cup of tea.
Then on Sunday it was too cold to swim but just right for a hike so we
all ventured over to Catalina State Park for a short (very short, like 3
mile round trip) hike. Izzy managed to hike for most of it herself and
really the hike was just a vehicle for stream play, which of course is a
wonderful thing! For the rest of Patrick's birthday we hung around the
house and then made a good (and not so Irish) dinner of steak and a
stout (quite Irish) for drink. Ahh so lucky to have a spouse who has
the best day to be born on ever.
