Lucy Loves Watermelon, Water and Washing Daddy's Car!

Lucy's favorite food of all time is "xi gua" (shee gwa) or watermelon. I know that she has grown up with it since she was a baby in China. When we went to visit her orphanage (two years ago this week!), we were welcomed in one of the offices with a HUGE plate of watermelon...and they told us that "xuan xuan" loved xi gua. To this day, Lucy, and well all of us still call it "xi gua"!
She was over the moon excited to find this bathing suit this year...she also found a
xi gua towel!


Lucy loves water, and she loves it cold! She will hop in her pool right after we fill it up straight from the hose!



....And Lucy's newest favorite thing...is washing the car! Today she got to help her Daddy wash his car, and it was the highlight of her day!
