~Sunny Summertime Saturdays~

We promised the babies "swimming" but upon arrival found this sign...

We knew we had to come up with a plan fast.  Lucky for us, Lyssa was already headed towards something else of intrigue.

The Rocket Slide!  Nick braved the heights with Alec....

...who had no clue was he was in for.  Afterwards all he could say was "Wow."

Daring little Lyssa had to take her turn.  She enjoyed the view from the top, and looked so proud of herself once she made it to the bottom, almost as if she was saying "Mom, I don't see what the big fuss was all about.  It's not that scary!"

They Lyssa found something else of intrigue! "Hey Mom!  What's that!?"

A Carousel!  Wow!

They were mesmerized!  "Can we ride it?  Can we?  Which one do you want to ride Lyssa?" 

Then they climbed on with Nick and the loud music kicked on.  Alec LOVED every second, but Lyssa... well, the picture speaks for itself.

We made our way back home to meet up with friends, fill up the kiddy pool, eat light lunches on the deck, and cool off.  Jakob enjoyed throwing water in his own face.  I wish Alec would do that instead of throwing water in Lyssa's face... then again she doesn't seem to mind too much.  

We laughed, played, and ran around in the shade of our massive tree...

and spent some quality time at the babies favorite backyard spot, the swings.

After naptime and dinner, we made our way over to Snookies for kiddie cones all around, and played the evening away at one of our favorite parks.  We may have started out with different plans, but I think it's safe to say that no one ended the day feeling disappointed.  That's the beauty of warm weather.  There is always more fun to be had in the great outdoors...

Happy Summer!
