Friday
We went swimming at the Germantown Athletic Club.
Saturday
We went swimming at the next door neighbor's house. They have a nice above ground pool, and they were nice to let us use it for the day while they were out of town. Katey and Monica came over and joined Carol and me and our kiddos. The kids had a blast!
Sunday
We went to see the movie Brave, and then we came home and played on the waterslide. I am not sure how I managed this, but I only got one picture this day and it was of Miley. She was chilling on the back patio while the kids played on the slide.
Monday
Kevin and I took the girls swimming at Michelle's house. They enjoyed jumping off the diving board.
They also loved it when Kevin threw the ball to them and they would try to jump off the diving board and catch it.
Even the doggies had to jump in the pool to cool off.
Tuesday
We went back to Michelle's pool, but we brought Carol and her kids with this time.
I LOVE this picture of the 4 kiddos. It shows how much we love our summer time!
Miley even caught some rays!
Wednesday
This was our big trip to Wild River Country. Monica and her kids met in the cove at 7am. YAWN! Then we met my brother and his kids along with Hizer, Shackelford, Mashburn and their kids at the water park. Here are the girlies just before we pulled out of the driveway. (You will notice pictures of quite the opposite on the ride home.)
We got there a little before 10 am!
Let the fun begin!!!
Here comes Ava down the slide!
And Elia!
And Hannah!
And Jason!
And Katey!
Of course, the kids LOVED the wave pool!
Here they come!
And there they go!
The mommas enjoyed sitting in the beach entry wave pool. Of course, I wouldn't dare take pictures of us in our bathing suits. HA!
The "blue slide" ended up being a favorite! Here they come!
Here comes Ava down the blue slide.
Elia, Ava, and Cami trying to decide if they want to go down the blue slide for the 100th time.
Ava and Cami loved a slide called the Sidewinder. Elia told us it was because they thought the lifeguard was cute. Ava even walked up to the lifeguard and said "So, what should I call you?" (Hoping my friends are still praying for me with this one. I definitely have my hands full.)
We stayed at the water park until about 6:30. We stopped at Burger King on our way out of Little Rock. I had watched the Dr. Oz show the day before and discovered that Burger King has a really good veggie burger. It was actually full of flavor and much better than eating a cow any day!
The kids were still wired up and having fun at dinner.
Of course, Ava is all smiles any time she is next to a boy.
The ride home was a lot different than the ride there. After 8 hours in the water and sun and full bellies, we had some very tired kids in the van.
Here is Ava on the way home!
And Katey!
And Elia!
And Cami (WIDE AWAKE-complete with crown and all!)
Cami finally gave in and fell asleep when we were about 5 minutes from home. She was just having too much fun to sleep!
Thursday
We took the girls to get their hair cut today. It was not a drastic cut but they sure needed some cleaning up to their chlorine soaked hair. Here is their before:
Ava's after picture:
Elia's after picture:
Definitely a big improvement!
I met Carol at Safety Nail to get our nails done. It is always so nice having one hour all to ourselves every couple of weeks! Carol finally gave in and got hot pink. I went with bright orange! I LOVE those bright summer colors!
Tomorrow we are heading to the pool again to soak up more rays! We are also trying to soak up all the fun we can in the time we left of our summer!!!
