We've definately had some fun in the sun this summer! Especially in the water. My kids love the water. We have our neighborhood pool that we go to all the time, as well as swimming lessons at the same pool. We usually go to swimming lessons then end up staying afterwards for open swim time for a good hour or two. It's nice and relaxing and the kids love it.
On one of our 95 degree days last month (yes, I'm a month behind on my blogging!) we decided to venture out to a spray park near by. We had never been there, and of course we go on the hottest day of the summer to try it out. It was VERY busy, but the kids had fun. I was sweating to death, chasing my baby around and making sure I kept an eye on the other two who were running around. It turned out great though. The kids made new friends, we ate a lunch under a very small tree (meaning little to no shade!), played on the playground, and watched some cool break dancers show off their stuff in the middle of the park...Kind of random, but entertaining. And, to top it off, before we even got all the way out of the car to begin our adventure I ended up consoling a nanny who had locked the kids she was watching in the car!!! Yes, on a 95 degree day!!! It was a little nerve racking, but the police came and with a hit of a hammer on the car window, the kids were free. After that, all was good. SO, here's a few pictures of our spray park adventure!
The Park...
My red headed boy taking it all in.
Enjoying the water!
Collin was content with hanging out by the huge globe. Water ran down it and it made his day!
Sam on top of the HUGE whale. The kids liked to climb to the top and slide down it's head.
The dragon head was a big hit as well!
Lookin' a little hot!
Like I had mentioned before, we did swimming lessons. Actually, we're still doing them...This was Parker's first session of swimming lessons and he's done great! No fear! Sam is just a fish and such a good swimmer. I'd love to put her on the swim team next year! As long as she can swim the length of the pool, she's in. I'm thinking that won't be a problem. Here's my kids just loving the water!
Collin, wishing he was in the water.
Sam with her teacher and classmates. Her teacher is actually in our ward, so it's been fun having him help her along.
Goggle boy!
Doing great with the kickboard. He's willing and ready to do all they ask. I'm so proud of him!
Good job, Sam!
He always climbs on the railing and acts like a monkey, noises and all!
Straight arms and legs, Samantha!
Parker loves his teacher, Hannah!
