Water Fun!

Last week (between Christmas and New Year's) felt like a vacation even though I'm not working this year... Marc had to work all week but we had a break from Sadie's pre-school and our usual church activities. We took advantage of some time to sleep in, play with friends, and enjoy new toys and games. On Wednesday, our friends Stephanie and Mikenna invited us to the Peru YMCA that has a mini "water-park" inside. I recruited some help (Ms. Jennifer and Kyra) so I could take all three of the kids. We had a blast! The Y was so nice (much bigger than the one we usually go to). The locker rooms/showers were also much nicer which was a big plus (because I usually spend just as much time in the locker room as we do swimming!)

Sadie enjoyed riding on the lazy river and running around with Mikenna. The area wasn't too big, so we pretty much let them play on their own. Kinnick LOVED going on the water slides. There was one open slide and one tube slide for little ones. For the tube slide, he had to walk up some stairs to get to the top. There was water squirting down so the first several times he went up backwards. Once he got the hang of it, he would put both hands over his eyes and walk all the way to top--it was so cute (and funny!) Here are some pictures from our fun day:

(We had blue floaties for Kinnick, but he insisted on the pink ones!)

Kinnick loved shutting himself in the lockers!

We swam from 12:30--3:00 and the kids hadn't had lunch yet, so we drove through McDonalds. Half way home Sadie said "Mom, Kinnick is asleep with his cheeseburger!" He was one tired little boy!
