Weekend

We had a pretty fun weekend. We've been trying to take the boys to the Killen's Pond Water Park all summer long, but the weather just never cooperated. Barrett got off work a little early Friday so we could give it one last try. It wasn't the warmest experience, but there was barely anyone there and the boys had a great time! Damon loved the lily pad rope walk...he showed up a couple older kids:) Tommy loved pretend swimming and going on the little slides. We picked up pizza on the way home and eventually got the boys to sleep. Nathan showed up later that night. We had fun chatting until bedtime.

Saturday we went to the beach. The forecast was calling for showers in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon. The beach was pretty empty...well, not empty, but definitely not crowded at all! At times it was a little chilly, but the water was pretty warm. Unfortunately, the waves were pretty treacherous this time. Tommy loves to dance, literally dance, in the waves and taunt them until they crash and chase him. After an hour or so, the waves go even more intense. They started breaking really hard which created a 1-2 foot cliff instead of a slope. The boys would hop down run and try to jump over before the waves got them. Well, one wave was so powerful, it pushed Tommy right onto the top of the mini cliff. Another time, Damon did a somersault down the cliff then a wave hit, drenched everyone (I was soaked head to foot and my feet weren't even in the water!), and ended up picking up Damon and dropping him at Barrett's feet. We were pretty glad we all made it home safely:)

We dug giant holes, buried the boys in the sand, snacked, and had fun as always. We attempted to get donuts at the Fractured Prune, but they had closed 10 minutes before we got there. When we got home, the boys made mango salsa, tostadas, and chocolate chip cookies. I didn't lift a finger:) The boys were really sad Nathan couldn't stay a few more days.
