We got a cool new pool for Ava this weekend (on clearence!! $20!). Here are some pics and some clips to enjoy. The only crappy part was when the sudden rain clouds came swooping in after only about 30 minutes of playtime. Hopefully, this week will bring some more sun.
Apparently, Ava was lying on the concrete as though she was going to take a luxurious nap in the sun, but then she remembered she was Ava Grace Lindgren and she doesn't take a break from anything. Phew! That was close!

Ava's Special Goodbye (wait for it at the end)
This evening, we had dinner with the Butler's and their guests from the Seattle area. Mike BBQ'd up some friggin' fabulous burgers and we enjoyed our meal out on the patio.
Conversation ensued, and Ava, at one point, was off on the sidelines simply observing us and our adult chat. We were all taking turns talking with sudden bursts of laughter to follow. Ava saw this and began her own rhythm mimic.
Ava would spit out a 5 second dosage of "speech", then followed by a long drawn out laugh. She would mimic us (the adults) a few times until we caught on, then we all had a great laugh together.
Ava, you're a hoot! And we love you!
