Splash Pad Adventures

Last week was a hot one so I took the girls and a friend over to a local splash pad.  It's not your typical splash pad, it has more of a natural look and includes lots of little waterfalls for the kids to climb around on.  When Lyla was just over one we went to this park all the time, but we've barely been back since. 

The girls had so much fun running around, mostly in opposite directions.  Lyla kept yelling "this is the best!"  I stinking love her enthusiasm and excitement over the smallest things.  I sure hope that never goes away!  Sis was pretty cute, tackling all those big rocks in the waterfalls and insisting on doing it all herself. 

It was such a blast, we're going to have to get back over there a few more times this summer!  Here are some pics.  :)

Chillin' like a boss.

The Zoo

One of the things on our summer bucket list was to take the girls to the zoo so we took advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday and ventured out to see the animals.  The first thing we ran into was a brand new splash pad.  We had no towels, no bathing suits, no change of clothes but neither of them seemed to care.  They ran around like fools and got completely soaked, only stopping for the occasional cotton candy fuel up.

Once we finally dragged them away from the water we actually did see some animals.  Our zoo has a farm in it and that's always been Lyla's favorite part.  We spent a lot of time with the goats - Lyla mostly put them in a head lock, which luckily only resulted in one finger bite.

It was such a fun trip.  Love my crazy little family!
