Water Park Fun

We're so lucky to have a water park so close to our house.  It's just a little drive in the car, but OH SO worth it!

There's a zero entry with a small dog shaped slide for little ones, there's a lazy river to float around on, there's a giant swirly slide, there's even lanes for lap swimming!

Since Daddy has been gone so much lately with harvest and working overtime, he decided it was time to do something big and fun as a family.

So after naps today, we loaded up and went to the water park.

Josh went off the big slide.

Here's a look at all the twists and turns. 




(He actually did this last summer when he was just tall enough to and still 4, but fear has never been something to stop him from having fun.

And here he is at the top:










































And here he is at the bottom!





I think he went on it at least 10 times!

Then we decided to go to the Lazy River.

Josh is old enough to have his own tube.





But poor Mace is stuck riding with someone.



The lucky someone today was Daddy.  There was no room on Mommy's tube.

Then here they are coming around.




I think Josh might have lapped Daddy and Mace.  He moves quickly in there!  (And Daddy drags the bottom.....)


Oh but I almost forgot!

On the way to the Lazy River....what should my eyes spot, but this:



That's right ladies and gentlemen.  

It's a hairy and proud man with a neon speedo.  

And if you look VERY closely........he even has bar piercings on both nipples.

That's right.  

Hubba Hubba.

And yes, I stood there and took a picture.  Me in all my preggo glory.  Who's gunna say something?!?

Nobody.  That's who.

Back to my family, who was appropriately dressed I might add.


They had the best time.  

Macey even danced from place to place at the water park.



Until the cement got too hot for her piggies.

Then Daddy carried her.

Hey Dad, next time, can you carry me?

Darn House Guests

We have officially, for the second year in a row, moved to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't like country living.

We have more varmints here than in Arkansas.

Allow me to tour you thru the varmints we've had here just in the last month alone....

Ground Squirrels....





We tried to bury them (in their holes with dirt), we tried to drown them....








































We even tried to 'trap' them....





And they've still come back.

Next on the varmint list is.....

Skunk.




Everyone was tracking it.





It's amazing.   She can't see anything (randomly barks at the mailbox), but can spot a skunk.

We trapped and got rid of this one.




Then we've had plagues of wasps and mosquitoes.

But the most recent is....mice.

Well, just one mouse.

I think a rat.

He was too fat and too happy.

This is a bad picture, but I felt as though I if I didn't share some kind of a picture, you wouldn't believe me.






























I'm so tired of unwanted house guests, I can't see straight!

New Sign

I think I'll make this for the front door.....

























Except for the beer part.

And adding something about "if you wake the child, you take the child!"
