Splash Pad Fun
I took the kids to play at the Splash Pad today. They all had fun playing in all the water. When it was time to go, I had all the kids but Riley with me. I told Jared to use his twin telepathy and tell Riley to come over her so we could leave. Jared stared over at Riley and then Riley came running saying, “I came a fast as I could”. It was so funny! I’m not sure whether the twins really can communicate telepathically, but sometimes it sure seems like they can!
Falyn Playing in the Sprinkler
Falyn had so much fun playing in the sprinkler this afternoon. She would fill up her bucket then use it to water all the plants.
OC Fair
We made our annual visit to the OC Fair today. Unlike previous years, it was not at all hot today. It was in the low 70′s, which is quite a bit different from the 100′s it has been in prior years. As always, we all had a great time.
Day 27 – Pool Construction – Drains
For the first time in almost a month, some work was done on our pool. They started installing the drains for the deck.
Adventure Playground
I took the boys to play at Adventure Playground this afternoon. It is located in Huntington Beach at Central Park near the Library. This is the first time we have gone there and the boys just loved it! They said they definitely want to go back next year.
They have a rope bridge
A mud slide
Rafts
And a fort building area
Aidan’s 10 Year Old Portraits
I took Aidan’s 10 year old portraits today. We want his portraits to show things he is interested, so we did some with his soccer ball, boogie board and guitar.
Aidan’s 10th Birthday
Today was Aidan’s 10th birthday. He picked ice skating for his birthday activity. It was the first time the boys and Falyn had ever been ice skating. They all did really well and everyone had a ton of fun. We went in the afternoon and almost had the place to ourselves. At most, there were 20 people on the ice, with 10 or less on the ice most of the time.
Grandma Nancy, Grandpa Ron and Aunt Samantha came over tonight for a little party. Per Aidan’s request, we had pizza and Texas sheet cake.
Water Balloon Fight
Today I let the kids have some water play in the unfinished pool. We filled up 9 water balloons for each of them and let them loose. They had tons of fun tossing the balloons at each other.
Vacation Bible School
This week all the kids except Falyn, who is too young, have been busy with Vacation Bible School. Talia and Kayli are both group leaders this year. They have all been having a lot of fun are were sorry to see it end.
Picnic and Playtime in the Pool
In an effort to have the kids enjoy the pool this summer, even though it isn’t done yet, we had a picnic on the reef step. I then let the kids play in the pool. They got cars and had fun rolling them down the slide. They also played with a frisbee, trying to get it into the spa. We had all hoped that the pool would be done by now. Aidan got the saddest look on his face when he realized today that the pool won’t be finished in time for his birthday next week. The twins and Kayli are now worried that it won’t be finished for their birthday’s either.
Kayli put together a little video showing all the fun:
