Day at the Splash Pad

 We joined some friends at the splash park early in July.  The boys had a great time.  I think the person who invented splash parks is a genius.  What a great escape on a hot, summer day.  Awesome jumped right into the fountain, which surprised me because he's so timid.  I was super impressed.  However, once he discovered the river there was no going back.  Both boys loved the river, especially scaling the rocks. 

Awesome insisted on bringing a rubber ducky.  "It's a water toy, Mom!"

C-man would go near the fountain, but he always came back before getting wet.

 They were both so proud when they got onto the rocks and I think they are both so cute in their too-big swimwear.

July 4th

Awesome loves his shadow.  Here he is pointing out how tall it is.

 We had a very relaxed fourth.  We put the boys to bed before dark, but we still tried to do sparklers first.  It was too windy, but that didn't matter because the boys loved running around the front yard while Daddy tried to light the sparklers.

Keeping his balance on the grass.  Such concentration!

The race is on!
