Waterpark

My boys have been begging me all summer to take them to the waterpark. I finally gave in today and took them. I was hoping to be able to go with another friend so I had someone to talk to, but I didn't and it was OK because that means my boys had 100% attention from mom. :0) We were there for about 4 hours and it was still hot even in the water.
Reed has mastered the slides in this area. Tyler and I finally convinced him that he could go on the big slides. He walked up the stairs and then walked all the way back down once he got to the top. Maybe next year he will feel a little more secure and be ready.
Do you see him...at the top of the slide?

Umm...Reed???

Uh...hello???

I'm over here!!!

Well, hello there sweet boy!
He was having way too much fun to stop and look at mom. ;0)

This was during the "code brown" when everyone had to get out of the water.

Most of the day I hung with Reed while Tyler ventured over to the obstacle course or water slides, or lazy river. With the rule that after every third time come check back in. Well...
We only had one time when we couldn't find each other and it was my fault. Tyler was on the lazy river and Reed wanted to go on the lazy river and I thought we would find him. Well we must have just missed each other as Reed went around fast looking for him and I lazed on my tube. When Reed couldn't find him he came back to me and we got out to look for Tyler. But Tyler did the right thing with coming to check in and when we weren't there he went to the life guard who sent him to the manager. The manager was so kind to Tyler and walked with him until we found each other. Thank you manager!!! I didn't get to personally thank you because Tyler saw me and took off running for me and the manager went back into his air conditioned office.

Summer Fun

Yesterday we went to a friend's house. The boys swam in their pool, played on their water slide, and devoured cookies and cream cupcakes. Later in the evening I took the boys on a 4.10 mile bike ride around the neighborhood.

Guess who now wants a water slide in their backyard?





Got to love summer time and the endless possibilities of where the day takes you!

In...

5 short, err, long (select the one that is appropriate for you) months it will be Christmas Day!!!

(Polar Express Day in kindergarten.)

I have really been thinking that next July 25th I am going to have a Christmas in July party with my friends and their kids. Doesn't that sound like fun!
I envision...
white water balloon fights
Santa hats with bathing suits
candy canes (saved from Dec.)
frozen hot chocolate
hmmm...gotta keep thinking about what else there may be...
maybe we would make cookies???
