Ice Cream Brekky.
We forgot to pull bacon out of the freezer on Saturday, so on Sunday morning we loaded up the buggy with all sorts of fun things, threw on our swimsuits, and went to the marina for breakfast. Ty said he wanted waffles. I am pretty sure he can’t read, but the menu said it is served with ice cream. Good choice, son. What the menu didn’t say was that the waffles were made with 50% sugar. So after brekky we needed to burn off some of that sugar high.

Corvettes.
We have only seen a Corvette or two down under. We were all pretty excited to see a whole bunch of them parked in the marina parking lot! Sweet!

Tennis.
We drove the buggy to a nearby tennis court. Ty had a free lesson at school and seemed to like it. And it is a pretty easy sport for us to play together (and have him chase balls). We played for quite a while, I gave Lily a bottle, she snoozed while we played some more. It started to get warm so we hopped in the buggy to cool off in the breeze on our way to our next buggy destination.

Basketball.
In another little neighborhood, they have a basketball hoop with a little slab of concrete – not enough for a pick up game, but enough to get some shots in. There was a covered picnic area close by, so jay and I took turns keeping lily entertained in the shade while Ty threw the basketballs (and then the tennis balls) in the general vicinity of the hoop. We didn’t stay there too long before we really got hot and decided a dip in the neighborhood big pool was just what we needed.

Cannonball!
When we arrived at the big pool, we had it all to ourselves. Some other kids arrived about 20 minutes later. Ty did great – swam in the deep end with Jay nearby. And then he climbed out of the pool and started doing cannon balls! With a running start. It was awesome.

Which reminds me of a story Jay told me last night at dinner. When he was playing in the pool by himself on Saturday, I remember him doing a cannon ball and then looking at me through the window with this look on his face like he just did something totally awesome. Well, come to find out he has never, ever, not once in his entire life, jumped in a swimming pool. What?!?! How does a person go 35 years without doing a cannon ball? I think I am going to have to give him diving lessons, too. :). Love this man. 🙂

After about an hour in the pool, it was nearly lunchtime so we headed home. Fixed grilled cheese sandwiches, then Ty laid down for a nap. I was researching flights for my brother to come to australia and Lily fell asleep in her high chair eating puffs. So sweet.

Rickster.
And then we found a good price and decent routes for my brother, Rickey, to come to Australia!!!! He is flying out on May 2, will arrive here on Sunday, May 4 in the morning. I. Can’t. Wait. After we booked his ticket, I started wondering if Rickey even owns a pair of shorts and flip flops. Might have to go shopping immediately after he lands. :). Gosh, the sun hasn’t seen his legs for probably 20 years, let alone the Aussie sun. I will buy more aloe vera before he lands in the sunburnt nation.

Bug’s Life.
Jay went to the grocery store, and when Ty woke up we popped A Bug’s Life into the DVD player. A perfect way to round off “a buggy life” day.

Have a great week!
