Yesterday we had an epic Saturday of fun! We didn't plan to have such a jam-packed day of events, but it just happened that way. And while it was definitely a long, full day, it was a FUN day filled with family and making memories.
Eli and Maddie are taking swim lessons again this summer, so we are trying to spend some time at our neighborhood pool to get them used to it again. So we decided to head to the pool for an early morning swim! Eli and Maddie were not really interested in taking a dip in the pool...so we have a little work to do over the next couple of weeks. But they enjoyed playing in the splash area!
She moved too fast and the photo got cut off, but I LOVE this sweet smile!
And it was also Aiden's first trip to the pool, and he absolutely LOVED it! He loved splashing in the water, and I'm pretty sure he had the most fun of anyone :)
My cousin has boy/girl twins, and they are in town, so we had a fun play date planned with them. After Aiden took his morning nap, we got back into our swimsuits and headed to the splash pad! We were completely surprised that no one else was there, so we had it all to ourselves the whole time we were there. Which was SO awesome! The kiddos could play and splash unhindered until their little hearts were content :)
How is my baby girl not a baby anymore???
And again, Aiden loved the water and had the time of his life! He had no fear of the fountains/sprays and just wanted to splash and play non-stop. He would splash and play in one fountain and then crawl over to the next. We had to hold him back so he didn't drink too much of the water or get sprayed too hard haha.
We headed back to the house for lunch and naps. While the kiddos were napping, we got a call from Aunt Lindsay saying they were going to meet Granny and Grumpz out at Main Event for some bowling. So we decided to continue our crazy fun day with another outing. At least this one was dry and inside :)
Maddie had a TON of fun bowling with her cousins. She loved the bowling shoes, the bowling balls, watching her ball hit the pins, the pretzel snack I gave her...she was pretty content haha. Eli struggled a bit with the whole concept. It was busy and loud and highly overstimulating in the bowling alley. It had been a long day already, so the idea of only getting to bowl with 2 balls and then having to wait for everyone else to bowl before he got to bowl again was pretty hard for him.
I told her to smile. And I got this. But she sure looks cute in her bowling shoes :)
Her shorts were glowing and she thought that was pretty fun!
Eli did a little better as long as Daddy was right by his side.
And Aiden was pretty happy with his water cup and Aunt Lindsay :)
FUN!!! :D
