We Caught a Big One!

Magan had another picture session, so I got the kids all to myself. So...we decided to go to the "QUGEST PARK EVER" as Davis would say. I had seen the advertisements in the Birmingham parenting magazine, and Memorial Park in Leeds looked pretty cool. But both Sam and Davis mouth dropped when we parked in front of this Monstrosity of a playground.

Sam loved taking Lotso down the biggest slide, and the merry go round (??) was Davis' favorite. Anabelle just liked walking all over the park, they had a small playground where she was able to slide over and over again.

I then brought us a picnic lunch so we could enjoy the relatively nice weather (cool breeze). As I was fixing lunch, I looked over to see Davis falling off of the merry-go-round...and not looking so merry. But he did not cry a bit, but explained to me that the "soft part in your head that makes you think...Mine is hard". So he was OK.

We then drove over to the Bass Pro Shop where they were having a summer camp for the kids. The shooting gallery was free so Sam and Davis just shot guns for about 30 minutes. We then were able to make our own leather keychains. Belle just kept "Wow"ing at all of the animals she saw. She fell in love with a fluffy stuffed dear head and played and hugged on it like it was a baby. But I am pretty sure Magan would not have let me hang it above her baby bed. We also made the latest cover of Field and Stream Magazine. Yall go and buy a copy. :)

Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning how

I came home today to see Mom setting up a fun slip and slide down the little hill in our backyard. The boys and Belle were very excited to go down and get wet. It started off pretty well, but Belle liked just playing in the pooled up aread at the bottom. Then I went inside to crank it up a notch...Yeah, you know it...Dishwashing soap. Once those kids got lathered up a bit, they were sliding down that hill like Goofy on a banana peel.

The previous picture was just before the Sam and Davis each took out Belle with some rather good slides. She was a trooper though...she loved sliding down on her back. One time she stood up quickly after reaching the bottom. magan asked if she was OK...she just looked at her is big excited eyes...and said "Woa".

And yes...Dad could not stand them getting to have all the fun...So I joined in. It was pretty awesome, wish it was longer, definately after I hit the end and kept going through the grass.
