We spent Friday at a state park in the Boise area and had a great time. The water was a little nasty, but we just overlooked that part and played hard. My sisters and I got out of the water commenting how we turn into kids when we're together--and I am so glad! I haven't been very care-free since becoming a mom and it felt amazing. Friday night we had a fashion show where the kids showed off their new back-to-school attire. They are getting so old with so much personality. So adorable.
Ethan and Sydney discovered sand for the first time and I watched them closely to see how they would react when we live on the sand in just a few short weeks.
Sydney kept trying as hard as she could to squeeze the water out of the sand or something. She does this a lot. I wonder where she could get her intensity from?? I tell her to 'relax' far too often for an 18-month old. Maybe I should follow my own advice.
Doug was ambushed by the neices and nephews and he had a great time.
Back on the shore, I discovered that Grace (E&S cousin) loves to eat sand. I hope E&S weren't watching. Not sure how I'd do with that habit. My sister, Sarah, and I are a lot alike. She was squirming, but only a little...it's her 4th child.
Saturday we went to Roaring Springs waterpark. Ethan and Sydney weren't wild about it, but they had their moments of big smiles. I tried to get them to sit still for a quick photo. Now I have evidence of how fast they move...
We ate some pizza in the parking lot for dinner and the kids (minus the toddlers, of course) migrated toward the road to see how many cars would give them a little honk. They were so excited and I think stayed in that same spot for 15 minutes.
Thanks for the great memories!
