Ever since we learned that one of the guys on the recent season of Survivor was from the town next to us, and that he worked at the local ice cream shop, we have been meaning to check it out. The ice cream place is in a city called Hell and the shop is decked out like a Halloween store. Mallory got herself some Superman ice cream, and perfected her “more bite” as she inhaled the goods.

This is the sweetest little picture.
I was all ready to put Mallory in the bathtub when Rick got home from work but he wanted to take her swimming. Off they went with the dog and played for about 15 minutes. I guess Mallory walked right into the water up to her chin with no qualms. And she went down the slide and didn’t even care that she ended up under water at the bottom. I so wanted to go out and watch them play, seeing as how my favorite thing is watching the two of them laugh together, but I need to let Mallory have her Gaga time. This picture is of the two of them coming back from their dip, dripping wet. It reminded me of a joke my dad used to tell about my sister & me when we were little and would spend the summer in the river at my grandparent’s house…”what do Sammie & the Chippewa River have in common? They both have sandy bottoms!”. Little Miss Mallory had a swim diaper full of sand and tiny rocks, just like the bottom of the lake.
