Day 148- Splish Splash

It was a hot 90+ degrees today, so while we were at Market Square for lunch, we thought we'd park it in the grass under a tree.



Relaxing in the shade

We were having fun watching some bigger kids playing in the sprinklers when someone caught my eye!

Do I know you?

That's Ella. How I know her Mom is a really long story (I just tried to type out a short version. It didn't work ha!), but the point is that this was Nora's first time meeting Ella. We were going to get together next weekend, but we happily ran into each other this afternoon.

Anyhow, Ella was all up in the sprinklers with the big kids, but Nora needed some encouragement.

Ella says, "Come on in. The water is fine!"

This doesn't seem so bad...

THIS IS AWESOME!

After getting dried off and stripped her down to a diaper, we said our goodbyes to her new friend. Then, we headed over to Rita's Ice to get refreshed. Nora got to try her first ever kiddie cone of frozen custard.

What is this frozen deliciousness?

This pointy, crunchy end is pretty good, too!

After a nice long late afternoon nap, we capped off the day at the cemetery where we planted our annual Memorial Day flags at Uncle Spott's grave.

Nora's great-great Uncle B. Spottswood Preston, KIA WWII 

Unless Nora someday has a brother who inherits Spottswood as a middle name (like her Daddy), this will be Nora's tradition to carry on when she grows up.

It was a busy day. A long, hot, busy day, and I loved every minute.
