Matt went to Florida for the weekend for a friend's wedding, but Charlotte and I stayed here in Memphis because I still have school :( The hardest part of the whole weekend is knowing that he is spending time with my family at the beach, and Charlotte & I couldn't be there for the fun. So I was determined to have a fun and busy weekend here, just the 2 of us. Friday after school we went to see Shrek 4 (?) at the movies, which Charlotte loved. In case you need a review, she can give you the whole synopsis of the movie, just not in order :) This morning we headed out to the Collierville Sprinkler Park. I love my little area of east Memphis, but Collierville has the best city parks hands down. They have an enormous padded area with every type of sprinkler you can imagine for little bitty kids up to the tweens. And best of all, it is free! Charlotte had a great time running around and gradually easing herself into the spray. As you can see by most of the pics she prefers the stick the leg or booty in the water move - not a fan of water in her face. We had a picnic lunch and headed to the other side of the park to play on the playground. Another amazing thing about this park is the Ryan's Hope playground, a universal playground that is accessible to all children regardless of abilities (and it is wonderfully shaded). She ran, climbed, dug in the sand ("Look, I found a beach like Daddy!"), drove the fire truck, and swung in some very cool adaptive swings. The afternoon was all capped of with a trip to TCBY and some very bright rainbow ice cream. Tomorrow's plans are still undecided, but hopefully they will be just as fun!
