I had planned to take the kids to the regional park a few times this summer, as it is such a fun outing and way easier than the beach, but it's Aug 6 and this was our first visit. We went with some moms from church for our "family adventure." There were 6 moms, 18 kids (I brought 7) and 2 babies in the belly! Mary Nydam joined us which was a treat for both me and the kids and Gracie brought a friend from her class last year. The kids had a great time! Hope wasn't quite tall enough to go on the slides yet, but Zach, Grace, Candice (Gracie's friend) and Mary enjoyed them even though they said the water was freezing! The weather was amazing and the water was cold, but felt very refreshing.
Wesley was a champ. We got there right at 10 and usually Wesley takes his morning nap around 9:30, but played in the sand and water a good while before he ate lunch and I rocked him to sleep and laid him in the wagon, he probably slept for over an hour. :)
I had intended on bringing the point and shoot camera, but forgot it amongst the ice chest, 7 towels, the chair and wagon, imagine that...But Jess had hers and I got a few pics with hers before her battery died. You'd think I didn't take the girls with because I didn't get any pictures of them, but I assure you I had 4 girls with me, just no pictures...maybe next time.
I'm hoping to go another 2 or 3 times before it closes for the season on Labor Day, but we'll have to see how it plays out. When we go again, I'll be sure to take my camera and catch some of the fun :)
Wesley thought it was yummy to eat the sand :)
I take it back, there's Hope in the background of this pic...Zach with Josiah and Sydney laying down as they ate their lunch.
Wesley thinks he's so big now and tries standing up on everything! I love his hair :)
I wrapped Wesley in a blanket after he'd played in the water and he went to sleep pretty quickly!
