THE BEACH/SWIMMING

My girls love to swim, whether it is at the beach or in the back yard, they have a blast. I took them to the beach earlier this summer and it was so awesome. We were one of 4 families there, so we practically had the place to ourselves for like 2 hours, then the sun came out and it started to fill up, but it was nice to be able to look out and spot your kids because they were the only ones out there. We have gone back a couple more times, but it was on sunny days and the place is always packed, but the kids love to swim.

We also were invited to one of Abby's friend's pool to swim. The girls had a lot of fun with the floaties and swimming around in the pool.

COMO ZOO

I took the girls to Como Zoo a few weeks back, Ally had never been to the Zoo before. She loved seeing all the animals, especially "The Sparky Show", although she was sure it was "Andre" she loves that movie, and she kept calling Sparky, Andre. Abby would correct her until I finally told Abby that Andre and Sparky are friends so he wouldn't mind being called Andre. Another favorite was the giraffes, it was hard to get Ally to leave them. Then I let them go on a few rides, again Ally had never been on rides before. I was a little nervous, because she is such a dare-devil, but I told her they would kick us out and we would have to go home if she didn't just stay sitting with her hands in her lap. I was surprised how well she did, she even wanted to do the swings with Abby, and she was tall enough, but I lied and told her she was too little. I just wouldn't be able to handle having her way up in the air like that. After our rides we enjoyed some sno-cones and then headed home. We all had lots of fun!

SLIP-N-SLIDE

The girls got a new slip-n-slide from the Easter Bunny, and they have been begging since Easter to set it up, so yesterday when it was 90+ degrees outside we braved the wind and got out the slip-n-slide. Abby invited some of her friends and the girls had a blast running through it despite almost being blown away....I think I was the only one bothered by the wind. They also enjoyed freezies, thanks to Grandma & Auntie Jen, and oreos. It was a lot of fun, and we cannot wait for more summer days to come....without the wind!
