Beth and Aidan's visit

My very good friend Beth and her son Aidan came down from San Luis Obispo for a visit this last week. It had been a year since I had seen them when they came to see us in North Carolina but as with some lucky friendships, it seemed like no time at all had passed. Aidan is a year older and getting tall. He and Brenden had a lot of fun together doing all the water activities that we could get our hands on. Being 112 degrees made it mandatory pool/sprinkler weather.
There were two places that I wanted to take them to that were new to me as well. One was the Carver Water Feature Park and the other was the Valley Aquatic Center. Both offered welcome relief to the oppressive heat! Of course our swimming pool was well used at the end of the day as well with plenty of bloody beers to go around. Brenden had a big moment when he discovered he could kick on his own around the pool (with help from the awesome 'Puddle Jumper'). He is definately a water boy!
