Paige's Big Day

We're here. Paige is one. After her huge party on the weekend there was less pressure to do anything crazy, but we still had a little outing with Amy and Katharine at a splash park.

We arrived first thing in the morning since it worked in our schedules, but doing so helped us avoid the big kids that would likely have knocked over the little ones. Paige was able to test out her new wetsuit that she got for her birthday from Aunt Leslie and Uncle Mark. The day wasn't that sunny, so the water felt quite chilly; it wasn't warm enough for the girls to walk right into it. Not to mention, there was an incident that Paige was traumatized by. I turned my head for 2 seconds to see what Amy was doing and Paige was apprently standing in the line of fire of a huge thick jetstream that was pouring directly on top of her head. I turned my head when i heard little yelling noises. She was standing there with the stream gushing down on her head and she was crying as best as she could with the water all over her face and flailing her arms. It was probably pretty heavy on her head as well. Poor little thing. After that she was scared when water would start shooting suddenly. She would start to whine and rush right up to me. I would say she was scared yet fascinated.

After we all dried off we took a journey to the Second Cup for some coffee while the girls sat facing each other in high chairs and eating some cheerios. the day was fairly normal after this since Paige had a huge nap in the afternoon, but in the evening she did have some leftover cake--lemon this time.
