Roaring Springs and the River

Monday was my sister in law Anna's birthday so I babysat her younger kids while she went out all day with Alex. It was kind of a long day for everyone I think. My house is pretty small and boring. The kids played in the sprinklers for awhile but other than that we were just hanging out in the house. On Tuesday my friend invited us to come with her to Roaring Springs Water park. I got in free with their gold pass and Corbin had the reduced price of $15. The girls would have been free but I knew there was no way we would get our moneys worth if we went with them. Luckily Scott was available and I left the girls with him. Corbin and I were with my friend and her kids from 11:00 to 4:00. Corbin loved it. He would have gone on every ride if he wasn't just a couple inches too short. We came home and ate dinner and decided to go back with the girls and meet Alex and Anna's family that night. As soon as I was there with the girls for 5 minutes I was grateful I was smart enough to keep them home earlier in the day. We played in the kitty section until it closed. Corbin was happy to get to play with his cousins for awhile and go on a few more rides. We definitely got our money's worth that's for sure. What a day. It was a kind of a bummer being pregnant because I couldn't go on any of the rides. Oh well, the sacrifices we make right? On the way home I decided to really make a day of it and we stopped and got shakes at Sonic on the way home.

On Friday we went on a picnic to the river. I made tin foil dinners in the oven. They were good. Unfortunately the bees agreed. We were getting swarmed and I was freaking out. We were able to take our food and eat mostly in peace further away from the river. The kids and Scott had a fun time playing in the river.

Other than that I have just been trying to do a last minute cram session with Corbin. I have basically only been reading with the kids all summer and its amazing how quickly they forget things. We have been reviewing the alphabet, numbers, and practicing writing. We have about two more weeks to cram before school starts. I can't believe it! Corbin is really excited. I'm nervous, anxious, and excited too. I loved school and I'm hoping Corbin will too.

Cousins and sprinklers.

A quick stop on our bike ride. I think I may look a little ridiculous riding my bike big pregnant while pulling 2 toddlers along side a preschooler!

Brave Corbin.

Enjoying our dinner for a few moments before the bees, the bees!
