We Spent WAY Too Much!

What a day!  We went to WalMart first off and bought everything on our list - groceries, a few clothes, dance stuff for Emma and some shoes.  Then, we unloaded everything at the trailer, got changed and headed out to go swimming!

 We'd found this water park and decided to try it out.  What we didn't realize was how ridiculously picky and how many rules it had!  I've never been to a pool with so many rules!  The kids had to wear life jackets and even then weren't allowed to go down the waterslides.  They couldn't go in the deep end or jump off the diving board... so bizarre!  The kiddy pool was so cold that after a few minutes of just standing in the water my toes were tingling.  We spent the entire time going around and around in the lazy river on tubes.  The kids loved it though, so that's what counts.

 I went down one of the waterslides and Lennard tried them both out... although after he lost his shorts one time, he didn't want to go again for some strange reason!  lol.  Guess I should have made sure not to pack his old swimming trunks that couldn't tighten up enough!  I got a good laugh out of it at least!

After about an hour, we decided we'd gone around in circles long enough and went back to the trailer to dry off and change into dry clothes.  We then went to Costco and loaded up on more groceries... and ice cream.  I couldn't believe how huge the cones were!  We could have shared one between the four of us, but I'd already ordered four!  Yikes!  We were definitely ice creamed out!

We spent a quiet rest of the afternoon/evening watching a movie and having dinner at the trailer.  The kids hung out down by the river with Lennard for quite a while.  There was a guy fishing there and he told Ben that when he caught another fish that Ben could reel it in.  Well it happened!  Ben was SO excited that he 'caught' a fish!  Then, when the guy got it ready to take a picture with, Ben didn't want anything to do with it!  We had to convince him to stand still and let daddy hold the fish.

 He was pretty proud of 'his' catch!
