splash pad

Paul started the 4th of July out by reading about the history of the day... the things our forefathers were fighting for and the amazing blessing it is for us to live in this country. We really are so thankful. We love it here.  Then, we went to the splash pad! Actually they call this one a "sprayground" which I thought was so much fun.  We met up with the Williams family and had a blast. It was HOT outside, so cooling down was just perfect.  

All three kids in the same area at once. This only happened because I dragged them all together. It only lasted a few seconds. :)

Paul was trying to shade Lullaby with the nursing cover while she was falling asleep, but it just looked like he was trying to nurse her. I wish. :)

Hawken was SO apprehensive at first, he refused to even take his shirt off.

But then he ran a round like a mad man having the most fun of his life. Here he trying out something new... Interesting.

Lullaby was a little unsure, but, as she is in ALL situations, she was pleasant and even enjoyed herself a bit. She is such a good baby.

Matix and Dries were so brave and tried out the big dumping bucket thing after watching the big kids do it. I was so proud of both of them.

The playground next to the splash pad was really fun too. Hawken spent a little time over there while he was being nervous about the water.  Check out the swings, cool right?

Petal was having the time of her life and made this little excited scream every couple of minutes. So cute.

What a great day. We love the Williams family and always have the best time with them. Hooray for finding awesome people every place we move to!
