The petting zoo at the carnival
Lucas throwing the 'pie' in Tina's face
A very busy, but very fun family activity day! We started the day off with swimming at the 'big' pool. The boys call it the 'big' pool because the one that they are normally in for swim lessons every week is a small wave pool, and the one on Orchard is a full size pool. And since they had make up vouchers from a missed lesson, we decided to take the opportunity for a make up session. The email I got back from them said that our time was 10am, and when we got there it was really 9am...but they let us stay and swim since it was their mistake and not ours. The boys had a blast! They got in their noodles and swam all over the pool by themselves. Zach was jumping in from the wall, just like he'd been doing it forever. Lucas was still way too apprehensive to even think about jumping in! I'm not sure where this fear of the water is coming from, because he's been so good lately. Hoping it's short lived! Lucas did awesome putting his whole head under water to retrieve rings off the dock for his dad. It was a fun start to our day! We headed home and had some lunch. Then it was off to the school carnival at Summerwind. They invited all of the incoming kindergarteners and their families to attend. It was fun! The boys bounced in the monster truck bounce house, threw a pie in Tina's face, ate cotton candy, played on the equipment with other little kids (and played a game of tag with them), pet the animals, and enjoyed a sno cone. We all got a little more sun than I had bargained for...but being the group of butt white crackers that we are, I'm not all that surprised! It was a gorgeous afternoon for the carnival! Came home from the carnival and charged up the batteries for the RC car. Then we headed out to James and Julia's house in Nampa. They had a few friends over for a BBQ. It's cute because Lucas remembers very well, and very fondly the time we went out for the pumpkin party, 3 years ago, they had a bounce house and some of the bigger kids were jumping up and pulling the roof of the house in, and James yelled at them to stop it. And he also remembers racing dad's RC car out on James RC track. There wasn't a bounce house this time, but there were several little ones to play with, and a couple of older girls...my boys had more fun with the girls than anyone else! : ) Going to have my hands full here in a few years!! They got to race cars with James and Corey and dad. Then, as if they hadn't played hard enough that day they decided to literally run the track several times. The only bad thing about that for me...it's a dirt track! They were so filthy, but they were having fun, so what the heck!! They slept exceptionally well!! It was an awesome day!
