Father’s Day Weekend

We had such a great weekend!  On Saturday afternoon (after spending the morning cleaning the garage) we decided to go on a spontaneous adventure to a new pool that a friend had recommended to us. 

It was PERFECT! Not too crowded and very much little-kid friendly!   There was a regular pool and then a zero entry wading pool connected to a smaller pool that only got four feet deep. The only downside was a little bit of a drive, but it wasn’t bad and the girls had a BLAST so it was well worth it.   They even had a water slide! 

Ready to go!

We would only tell them we were going on an adventure so they were SO excited when they finally saw where we were.

There were a few fountains to get us started.

And a lurking crocodile…

For someone who didn’t like baths until recently, Peanut has certainly turned into a water baby!  She was having so much fun splashing and floating.  She protested loudly anytime we took her out of the water.

Boo was ready to go charging down the slide by herself, but she was under the height limit.  Fortunately they allowed her to go if she was with one of us and we took her about two dozen times (not exaggerating!) apiece. 

Buggy was a little timid at first and insisted she needed her life jacket.  As soon as we put it on she headed up the stairs and went down the slide all by herself!  I was very impressed with her bravery! Of course, I had no idea one could actually go so slow on a water slide, but she eventually came inching along towards the bottom, plopped into the pool and doggie paddled her way to the stairs. :)  She found a little friend and the two of them went up the stairs and down the slide for almost an hour and half without stopping!!!

Splash!

After a particularly fast ride and sound dunking in the pool for Boo and Daddy we got out and took a break. :)

Push-up from the concession stand=happy Boo

We didn’t realize they closed at 5 for an adult swim hour so we had to leave, but we’d already been there for over two hours and the girls were pretty tired.  I think they could have stayed for hours longer!  We will definitely have to go back sometime!

We got some dinner and then jumped in the car for the drive home.  Boo looked like this just a few miles down the road. :)

What a great day!

Sunday morning we woke up early and T opened his presents.  We went with a baseball theme this year because they are doing some remodeling at the hospital and he’s going to be getting a new office.  We got him a clock, some bookends, some pictures, and some baseball art.

Here are the pictures I framed of the girls.

Bug.

Boo.

Peanut.

We went to Sunday School, started church and stayed until the singing was over and I was done playing the piano before hopping in the car to drive to meet Grandma and Grandpa for a Father’s day lunch.  I didn’t get any pictures the rest of the day…what was I thinking?!? :)

After lunch we made a few stops and then met Papa at a golf course where T and Bug stayed to play golf and I took the little ones back to Noni and Papa’s house.  We played cards with Mama, jumped on the trampoline and then made dinner for the golfers.  Lasagna, brownies, and a little playtime later and then we were back in the car on the way home to crash.  I had to wake the girls up at 8:40 this morning to get to VBS on time!  They were pooped after our big fun weekend! 

Happy Father’s day to all the wonderful Father’s we know!!!
