Mahoney Water Park

We went to the water park Friday night and the kids LOVED it. It was the perfect thing to do on the last Friday before school starts. Chuck thinks we need a pass for next summer, I'm not so convinced, since I'm not a water lover and it would be me who was taking them all of the time.

Our new bathroom

Well, it was some time in January when I blogged about how this happen to the mirror in our bathroom.

Well, now that it has been 6 months, we have finally rectified the situation. I painted the ceiling and the walls. Chuck replaced the brass light bar with a silver one, and we changed the mirror from the standard wall mount piece of glass to two framed ones over each sink! I really like it. I was a little disappointed in the color, it wasn't exactly as I had imaged it would be, but I do like it. So, all that is left is to change out the door knob and if I ever get some money, add a window!

Family Night Beach Day

Saturday we had ourselves Beach Day. Of course the weather wasn't all that perfect for total beachiness, but we did our best. We started at the sprayground, came home and played on the skim boarder and in the pool. We had a shrimp boil on a sandy blanket (Chuck was disgusted at the sandy blanket part and ate in a chair) had a seashell scavenger hunt, built sandcastles and sand paper sandcastles, light tiki torches, had a bon fire and finished it all off with SMORES!!!!!

We all had a great time. Skyler's favorite part was eating on the sandy blanket!

Zoo Thursday

We went to the and I did something I rarely ever do, I paid for a ride on the Skyfari. I never pay for a ride at the zoo, but had a little money and the kids really wanted to do it. It also takes us over the part of the zoo that we were planning on visiting, so it made for less walking for the kids. They were a bit disappointed that I didn't spring for the round trip ride, but they got over it once they were up in the air. We then fed the fish on the bridge, went to the garden of the senses, the aquarium, and the rain forest. We had soo much fun and it was one of the nicest days of the year!

Fontenelle Forest Wednesday

Here we are in the forest. We walked the boardwalk and then the kids played in Acorn Acres. Of course, their favorite was playing in the dirt!

Sac Museum Tuesday

Last Tuesday we went to the SAC museum. The kids love playing pilot in airplanes and it is pretty hard to get them out of them sometimes. Of course Skyler always gets to be the pilot and poor Lily has to be the co-pilot. They had a nice building area and the other picture is the building that Skyler built.

Wildlife Safari Sunday

We have had a busy couple of weeks. With a quick trip to Wichita to pick up my sister and then playing with her for the week and taking her back and then just us trying to squeeze everything in to the last part of summer before the kids start school. Last Sunday we went to the Wildlife Safari. It was my first time and Lily's first time going, and Skyler and Chuck's first visit since Skyler was not quite two. We all had a lot of fun and I think the kids liked riding in the car without seat belts on!
