Weekend Wrap-Up

Summer is the best.  Specifically the first few days of summer are the very best, right? 

Here are a few pictures from the Day in the Life I posted the other day. Donut day, cupcake stand, pool.  A good day, for sure. 

 

Saturday morning was busy.  Kael and Kylee had triathlon practice.  Kase and I watched for a little while then went to watch a friend play ball at Miracle League.  What a great way to spend our morning.  Then Kase had a tee ball game- luckily it was near triathlon practice so Kael and Kylee rode their bikes and met us there. It was a fun game and happened to be our longest game of the season and also our hottest so far! Headed home for a quick lunch, then off to watch my nephew Huston play blast ball! We loved cheering him on.

After the game, looking for a way to cool down, the kids talked me into going to the Captain Underpants movie.  Huston came with us, and I certainly didn't have high hopes for the movie but it turned out to be even funnier than I anticipated.  A great way to spend our afternoon!

From the movie we headed straight to Tammy's for a pool party! The kids had so much fun splashing around and playing on the slip and slide. 

My mom and Mandy and her family were there too and it was so much fun to see the cousins all play together.  We ordered pizza for supper then had a sleepover there.  It was a great night! The next morning after breakfast the kids went back outside to play in the water.  Loved spending time with my family.  Just look at these cute girls!

We went home for a little bit then I took the kids to the pool.  We had the best time.  Kylee was excited that she is tall enough for the lily pads this year! Also, Kael wanted to take Kase down the water slide but he noticed the rules say you have to be 13 to be able to take a younger kid down the slide.  Kael is only 12, so he very honestly went up the lifeguard and admitted his age, but she said he could take Kase on the slide anyways! He was thrilled and so was Kase.  Looks like my years of being needed at pool are coming to an end! I hardly know what to do with myself. So, I made the kids take pictures we could send to Kent. ;)

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, this handsome guy is having a blast catching walleye!

After the pool, Kael had a soccer game.  A really, really HOT soccer game.  Kael played great and the game ended in a tie.  It was his last game of the season- I have so enjoyed watching him play this year.  

After his game, Kylee went to a friend's house for awhile then came home and said her friend invited her to the pool.  The boys heard this, of course, and decided they wanted to go to the pool too.  So that's how we ended up at Cascade Falls.  Two pools in one day?! That's a great day! 

We wrapped up our evening with popcorn, pop (something the kids NEVER get), and a little Ninja Warrior on TV. 

It's been a great weekend, guys.  Looking forward to more summer fun ahead!
