Memorial Day Weekend at Mission Bay

When we weren't preparing for or partaking in wedding festivities, we took advantage of the beautiful setting.  We took a walk to the playground nearby, hung out on the patio with the girls, and took a dip in the pool.

The girls share a snack on the patio.

Matt indulges in a moment of relaxation.  Guarantee it didn't last long.

This is the hotel suite/room we stayed in.  As you can see, the patio - complete with comfy lounge chairs and a fire pit - was a great place to hang out.

And the view from the patio wasn't bad either.  A nice lawn, sidewalk and the beach!  There were two ducks that liked to hang out with us on the lawn.  The girls were fascinated by them. 

We took the girls to the pool for the first time.  We thought for sure they would love it, since they love splashing in the bath so much.  Emma was hesitant at first, but warmed up to the idea.  Mia, on the other hand, was terrified, and didn't even want to look at the pool.  Even though we were at the wading pool, I think the overall atmosphere of the pool area was a bit overwhelming for her. We're going to Lake Chelan in July, so we'll try again. I'm sure she'll warm up to the idea.  

Emma is a bit uneasy at first, but starts splashing around and quickly catches on.  The wading pool was 1 ft deep, so she could touch her feet on the bottom. 

Danielle came to the pool with us to help entertain the girls.  Emma loved having her in the pool to play with, and at one point stole her goggles.
 
After a few minutes, Emma was done with her raft and wanted to be in the pool on her own. She had so much fun walking and splashing in the pool!

Here's Mia.  This was as close as she got to swimming - wearing her bathing suit and playing with her raft in the hotel suite.  

She loved playing peekaboo with the canopy. 

As we left the pool, Matt said you're either a fisherman or a farmer, and it looks like we have one of each!
