Who needs Water World?




Chris had the really great idea to put our little plastic slide in the kid's kiddy pool, so they could slide on it into the water. Let me just say, they loved it! Our own little waterpark, right in our own backyard!


2009 Summer Recap























Wow, did we ever have a great summer! The kids were so much more mobile this year (D had just started walking in August last year and E didn't start until after Labor Day) so we spent as much time as possible outside. The kids just love being outside and we love it b/c they seem to burn off so much more energy that way! We went swimming a couple of times this summer, and the kids had their first water park experience, and ate popsicles, ice cream cones, and s'mores for the first time (not all at once, of course). We also took them to Tiny Town to ride the train twice which they talk about all the time, and we all rode in a surrey for the first time, that was a blast! But I think the best part of all of it was just playing in our backyard, cooking on the grill as much as possible (less clean up for mommy) and eating outside, one of my favorite things about summer. But alas, summer has almost ended and soon the kids will be snuggled in their warm pj's and watching Daddy shovel snow (sigh), but with the change of seasons comes anticipation of the coming holidays and so much more fun to be had.
