Enjoying every second!

Summer has flown by this year...and in my book summer is still going on until September.  But unfortunately the school calender doesn't agree with me.  We have one week left until school begins for Maggie, Owen, AND JOSIE!  (I can't even start talking about that right now..:(

I must say we have made the most of this summer, we have had lots of fun, gone lots of places, went to visit WV two times and had lots of pool time.  

This past week has been way too cold for the pool and not sunny at all. So we have had a lazy week at home. The kids have enjoyed just playing and Owen went to a basketball camp in the mornings.  But by yesterday evening we were all needing to get out of the house.  So I was so thankful when it was sunny when we woke up this morning.  

We took Owen to basketball camp and than Maggie went and got her hair cut and "glossed" (deep conditioned).  When we picked Owen up I told them we were going to go do something fun and we headed to the splash park that is near us. The kids all like it and we haven't been there much this summer.  Usually we go with friends, but I have found that without other kids my children play great together in settings like this.  So I wanted us to just have some "US" time.  

We ate lunch and played in the park area for awhile. All the kids got on the tire swing and I pushed them, although Owen said it didn't go nearly high enough with all of them on there.  

After playing in the playground for awhile they were all pretty hot and headed over to the splash area.  

At first Emmie didn't know what to think of all the water that would come and go...

but as you can see she figured out really quick how fun it was !

I bet she ran through this 50 times, and everytime with her eyes closed.  She kept running into people as she rain through!

Owen saw a boy doing flips and back handsprings and was inspired to practice some of his skills he learned in gymnastics.  He spent forever climbing up this pole and swinging himself back and forth before jumping off.

We stayed and played several hours before heading home for naptime/read time. It was great weather and the kids had so much fun.  I am hoping to soak in every second next week as well, and just enjoy them and what they like to do!
