Summer round up - part 1

We've been having a great summer.  We've been keeping busy but not too busy.  Enjoying lazy days at home and getting out and doing some fun things as well.  I love summer and never want it to end!

 

We got passes to Classic skate/water park again this year.  The kids love it.  I love it because if you go right at 10am, it's plenty hot and no one is there, or very few people.  People start coming right before noon when the slides open.  We swim for a while, go down the little kiddy slides and play. Then we get out dry off and eat lunch.  After lunch we head inside and play a few games with the tokens we still have from last year and then of course go get a small prize with our tickets.  The kids know the routine and it's a good morning out of the house.

The day we got our passes to Classic we didn't realize that the pool wasn't open yet.  We had met Whitney there.  The kids were sooo disappointed and here we were all in our bathing suits ready to go.  So we went back to Whitney's house and had a little pool party of our own.  It turned into such a fun morning with all the kids running back and forth between the pool and the water table.

We made a trip to the zoo.  The kids had fun and of course their favorite part is the carousel.  We saw a fun little elephant show this time that the kids liked as well.

Christy came into town after our trip to St. George and so we made our annual trip up the canyon for dinner and smores.  My dad brought his fishing poles and one didn't have a hook on it, so the little kids all had a blast 'fishing'

We also took the kids to the very first movie.  I was nervous how they would do but I wanted the girls to see Cinderella since they're obsessed with the cartoon right now (they still yell at the TV telling Cinderella that she's lost her shoe.  And as she's running off when the prince says 'but I don't even know your name.' They always tell the prince 'her name is Cinderella!'  And I knew they would love the little short movie of Frozen Fever as well.  So we waited until it went to the dollar movie and off we went.  They actually did pretty good.  It didn't keep their attention the whole time but they were pretty good to sit and eat popcorn.  I had to take Jaron out and Aria kept asking when it was over and Siena just kept asking question after question (that is a perfect description of their personalities right now.)  Overall it was fun and I took the girls to another movie with all the cousins this summer and they did much better as it was animated and they weren't sitting by me.  Note to self...always invite the cousins to come along!
