This weekend has definitely felt like August- whew, hot and humid! So, we have kept cool by swimming! Yesterday we went to camp to swim all afternoon and today (after church and lunch) we went to Knight's Action Park. (We knew this might be a dangerous move because the kids would miss naptime altogether, but we decided to chance it.) We went one day last summer, just after we had moved to Springfield and it was a lot of fun. This year was even better! Aunt Kara and family got us tickets to go for the kids' birthdays. Hadley absolutely loves the water and enjoyed it all. Drake is a terrific fish and is so brave, he even tried the BIG slides this year and loved them! Hadley started small, but after several times down the kids' slides she was going by herself. She even told me to stop getting up to catch her at the bottom of the slide- "sit down mommy, hadley do it self." Drake is SUCH a good big brother, he so patiently took Hadley to the top of the slide, would wait for her to go, then would go himself and wait to take her back up to the top with him. When Hadley was looking at the pictures tonight of her standing in line she kept saying "wait my turn", I think she heard that about a million times today and for 2, she did an awesome job standing in line and waiting! Drake is so independent now in the water and he is so much fun. Gabe and I had a great time taking turns going with him to the big slides and got to enjoy them for ourselves too. I think a season pass might have to be in our future. The kids did an amazing job, although Hadley did say "long day, mommy" a few times. I don't think we saw any tears all day, even when it was time to go home. I think they were so exhausted they were ready, I'm hoping for a good 14 hours out of them tonight!
