"I go pool at Gammie's House"
This is the term we hear all the time from Maddie. That girl has been loving the pool this year.. I guess she is now old enough to enjoy it. She asks us on almost a daily basis "I go pool at Gammie's House?" Well Gammie just got home from 8 weeks of traveling. So today we went over to Gammie's House and went into the pool.
We all had such a great time. Maddie loves to go around in the pool with her water wings on... however she has always made sure she was holding on to you or you were holding onto her. Well today on several occassions Rick and I were both able to let go of her without her realizing we were not holding her. She would go for a few seconds then get a little freaked that we were not holding on. Then all of a sudden at one point she was on the steps and wanted to go out into the water on her own. I was at an arms reach the whole time, but our brave little girl eased herself off the step and managed to kick around and manuver herself to Daddy and then to Gammie and then back to the steps. What a big, big brave girl!
We then came inside and it took Maddie all of 3 minutes of rocking with Gammie and she was asleep. The pool sure does wipe you out!
Then, per request I made Jagerschnitzel for dinner. We had that over Mashed Potatoes..talk about comfort food! Then a side of fresh green beans. Dinner was a Big Hit. Maddie even had almost 2 whole pork chops!
I found this Jagerschnitzel recipe when I was looking for a new way to make pork chops a few months back. I don't think our family will ever eat pork chops any other way! If you are looking for something else to do with porkchops, click here for the Jagerschnitzel recipe. We use boneless, thin cut, pork loin chops and it comes out great!
After we left Gammies house, we went to Baskin Robins for a treat!
