Summer Fun

In the summer, we loved Wildwater.  We went as much as possible.  Austin and Sydney enjoyed the slides on the play area.  Sydney was barely 40 inches so unless Brian and I would go she would usually get turned away.  However if we went she could go down.  If she had shoes on she would be 40 inches for the slides.  Then they would go down the slides time after time.  The kids also enjoyed wave pool.  Especially going out the the deep deep end.  Brian would take them out there since I could not touch at all.  I can swim but it's tiring after a while.  We also spend lots of time in the lazy river and crocodile pool.

At home we have a small blue pool that the kids like to play in.  I put water in it in the morning so by lunch time it's warm for them.  I also got them a slip and slide this year.  They love that too.  It took a bit to understand how to do it but once they got it they played for hours.  They also like to go down the green slide on the playground while wet.  We had lots of fun with water this year.

We went to a few splash pads too.  Again great fun for both of them.  We also did the summer reading program at the library.  They would get Popsicle and food coupons each week for reading 20 minutes a day.  They enjoyed that.

Austin went to Safety town this year.  It was the first time that I only had 1 child at home with me for a few hours.  Austin did great with it.  He learned all about safety and enjoyed it.  I volunteered the first day.  Sydney was with me and she did great.

Austin was in the explorer program at daycare at school.  It was great.  He got to go to movies, bowling and Lowes and built a project.  Austin really enjoyed it.  Sydney was sad she didn't get to do it but maybe next year.

Sydney and I have been busy planning her birthday party.  We are having Anna and Elsa coming to our house.  She is so excited.  Let's hope for good weather!

We went camping at Yogi Bear.  It's a very kid friendly camp ground.  They had playground, mini golf, hayrides, fire truck rides, swimming pool with slides, special swings.  Austin and Sydney had a lot of fun!  They definitely can't wait to go back.  We have been getting use to our camper and glad we got it.
