Our Day O Fun


Yesterday we went to Schlitterbaun. 

Today I am exhausted!!

It was a fun place.

Big Ran, Madison, RyLee, and I went.  It was a full day of sun, water, slides, river rides, and waves. 

  “Bathing Beauties”

It is a new water park in Kansas.  They are still building on to it.  It had plenty of fun stuff for us already!

Just hanging out.  Literally!! I hate wearing a swimsuit!!

 Got a shot with everybody’s mouths full! 

They let you bring in your own food and drink. 

 That really cuts down on the cost of things. 

 We took a cooler of sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.

It was a fun day away!

Party Time


My son, Nic and his girlfriend, Megan came over to celebrate their birthdays. 

It just so happens that Megan’s birthday is the 17th of July and Nic’s is the 18th. 

I usually try to let the kids pick their own menu for their birthday and Nic’s menu was no surprise.  He wanted meatloaf and green bean casserole.  It wasn’t too bad! 

I know that they aren’t children any more, but, I used these rainbow candles anyway.

 On a store-bought cake.

Fun!!  Sorry this picture is so fuzzy.  I’m not very good at action shots.

Baby Michael loved the ice cream and cake part!  And he HAD to do it himself .

I have no idea!???!  Madison is always full of surprises.

 

 It’s always fun to have the kids at home together.  It doesn’t happen very often!!

That’s life at our house, throw everyone together as often as we can!!
