family time

summer is coming quickly to a halt. there is only a couple of weeks left before the hustle and bustle of school begins. we are trying to make every minute count as a family. this week we tried to enjoy a few of the local activities that are available around here.

last wednesday, we went to the local water park for the evening. it was reserved from 7-9pm by a local church and open to all who attended their vbs, along with their families. it was not crowded at all, but a little on the cool side. the kids all seemed to enjoy themselves though.

 

"OOOOHH! That is cold!"

 

"What's this? This belongs on my tractor!"





Jacob loved the water spraying up from the ground!

 

 

 

 

 

lounging in the deep end

 

the water seesaw

 

Where is Amanda?

 

Can you guess who is standing underneath 10,000 gallons of water?

 

Then Jacob got a little cold. His lips were getting a little blue and it was time to go home.

 

But, of course, we had to stop for ice cream on the way home!



then, friday night we went to the outdoor movie theater. it was a really cool place for families. they show only family oriented movies, rated G, PG, or PG-13. we took our lawn chairs and blankets and watched the movie projected onto a big drive-in type screen. they also had a playground which jacob especially enjoyed. it was really a lot of fun!


Fun at the playground!

 

 

 

Waiting for the movie to start

 

 

 

 

"No! You can't have my popcorn!"

 

"OK! I'll share!"

 

"MMMM! MMMM! This popcorn is good!"

 

"Oh NO!! I think it is all gone!"

 

"Yep! It's gone!"

 

"SHHH! The movie is starting!"




isn't family time wonderful? memories to last a lifetime!
