It's Raining Men (I wish!)

I had the day off and day passes to spare so I invited Leah, Jamie, Brea, Darrell, Candace, Anna, and Janet to all come spend the afternoon at Seven Peaks. Unfortunately the weather had other plans. We rode in the lazy river a couple of times and then got out so the others could ride the slides. They had only gone a couple of times when everyone had to get out of the water because of the potential rain, thunder, and lightning that was going to happen.

We got to spend lots of time sitting and waiting (law is if it rains, thunders, or strikes lightning you must wait 30 minutes once the last happens), sadly they felt it wasn't going to go away anytime soon so they closed the park for the rest of the afternoon. If only the park could have been 4-5 miles north of where it was---they had perfect weather!

It was a fun afternoon to just get everyone together but a bit of a letdown as it was my last time to be able to go before they closed for the season.

Fun On A Wave

One of the perks of working at Trafalga is that I get to have a free Pass of All Passes which includes getting to go to Seven Peaks as many times as I would like to without having to pay. I also get some free day passes to share with friends and family. Two weeks ago when Kyle was here I had Friday off and we decided to go to Seven Peaks. We invited Libbey and kids plus my friends Erin and Brea (plus their babies). We all met up and had a comfortable spot in the shade and had a fun day until it was nap time and time for work.

Allisyn all ready to hit the water again (she even had the sunscreen out and ready for someone to help her :D)...P.S. that swimsuit she is wearing? I gave it to "her" the day after she was born.

Erin looking all cute and smiley. I missed her so much while they were in New York and it was so much fun to see her again and catch up.

Addie-Bug, poor baby we accidently put the wrong sunscreen on her and with the water it got into her eyes...they were a little red :(

Kyle, it was kind of a long day for him---he had some dental work done a few days before that and was a little bit drugged up.

Brea

Allisyn was so funny! I had brought a bag of goldfish to share with everyone, it was in my lap and I kept on giving her a couple at a time. I looked away for a few seconds and looked back to find the bag was out of my lap and in hers instead. The best part was at the beginning she would just sit and watch as Lexie and Addie would get goldfish out of the bag but she quickly got over her "shyness" and grabbed them herself :)

My HOTT sister :)

Jacob got a little cold every time after they got out of the water. Good thing he had Aunt Lily to help warm and dry him up.

Our "spot." I hadn't realized how much space we were taking up until we all got up to leave.

We took some pictures of the girls all together and their moms as soon as they were done Addie and Alli decided that they wanted to walk down to me.

We went on the lazy river and both Addie and Alli fell asleep...if only my life was that easy.

Splish Splash

This past Thursday Sonia called up everyone and invited them to go to the Highland Splash Pad with her and the kids. I had just enough time to go with everyone before heading to work...it was so much fun and I love that it was free. The kids loved it and loved playing with each other (even the adults got wet! :D). Even though it's designed mostly for kids I would totally be for going again (this time with swimming suit underneath my clothes and ready to get wet).

Claire was immediately ready to go in and wanted to wander around all of the shooting fountains.

As soon as Lexie saw the water she wanted to be no where but there.

I loved that the water was deep enough to sit in but not overly deep where it would be scary.

We sat Lexie down by one of the shooting fountains, she was so funny. Every time it would stop shooting she would try to look down the hole and put her fingers in it. Whenever she would get wet she would make this face but she kept on wanting to get wet.

Sarah and Jacob were also there but there are not any pictures of them because they were off playing the whole time and had no time for pictures.

One thing that really impressed me was that they turned off all the water for about 10 minutes at the end of the hour to make sure that kids took a potty break, checked in with parents, had a snack, and it gave parents some time to leave if they wanted without having to drag their kids away screaming because the water was still going and everyone was having fun.
