Summer is here!

Wow it was HOT today, and it is supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. Unfortunatley we don't have central air or air conditioning like some of you lucky people! All we have are fans, but hey that's ok, it gives us an excuse to go to the beach! Or in todays case, Fun Country! It was a last minute decision, but we thought if any day is a good day to go, today was it. We gave the kids their naps and then headed off. They have a cheaper rate after 4pm so that was cool. We first went over to the splash zone, and even on a 95 degree day that unheated water still feels COLD! Ethan and Sean played in it for a while, but Julia didn't like it very much. I did get her to sit in this little toy that they have where water runs down, and she liked that. Then we went over to the area where they have the pools, that water was much nicer. Ethan liked swimming around the little pool pretending he was a shark and Julia was walking all over, and through the water. It was only 18 inches deep so it was perfect for the kids. It was really cute they have an elephant that splashes water and Julia kept calling it a duck. She has been really into calling things duck lately, even a flag was a duck today. It was funny, she was walking around the elephant looking at it, and then she got right in front of the spout and then the water came out and knocked her over. We went back and forth between the splash zone and the pool a few times. Then we got a snack, let Ethan get a tatto from the game room and headed home. We kept ourselfs cool, and we had a lot of fun!

On Friday at work we left the office at 1:15 p.m. to go do the trash pick-up along Supply Rd., from Willamsburg to Brown Bridge. Just as we finished it started to downpour, but we figured it would blow over so we went to Ranch Roudolf anyway. We went caoneing, my first time, and Tonya's too, who went in the same canoe with me. Not a good idea, two first timers, right? Well, it went ok, it was a little more work than I expected it to be, but it was a lot of fun. We got the hang of it and we didn't tip over, all though we had a few close calls!

Tomorrow is going to be busy so I better go.
