Some summer fun pictures

Here are some pictures from this summer.

We had a great summer, but it flew by!

Lyle, Debbie, Haley, and Brandon came to visit this summer over July 4th weekend. What fun! We had a great time at the sprinkler park.

Brandon enjoys his snack. According to him, I am pretty smart because I brought snacks.

Sara and I took Madelyn, Mary Kaitlyn, Emma, and Ty to see the Disney Christmas Carol train.

Before school started back, the girls and I went to the Children's Museum. They have a new exhibit with a green wall and children can select a scene and be in the news.

School Starts

School started Monday with a great start! Both girls love their teachers and their classrooms. When asked by someone about her day, Mary Kaitlyn would 1st tell you that she is sitting by 2 boys. She doesn't tell you that there is a girl is at her table too. Every table has 2 boys and 2 girls, but this seems to be of importance to her. Below are some pictures from their 1st morning.

I can't believe how big our girls are getting. Slow down!!!

Geyser Falls

Jimmy, Madelyn, Mary Kaitlyn and I were able to make an overnight trip down to Philadelphia, MS to visit Geyser Falls water park. We were worried that the rain was going to ruin our fun, but it stayed away. We had a blast. It was so much fun watching the girls! Mary Kaitlyn loved the Creaky Leaky Water Factory and the Lazy River. Madelyn loved all the slides. The girls are already talking about when we get to go back.

Creaky Leaky Water Factory. As you climb your way up into this "factory," water is coming at you in all directions. Sometimes other children are shooting water guns at you. The big bucket at the top actually fills with water and dumps out when you least expect it to. Once the girls were walking from underneath the factory when the buckets dumped all its water out. It actually knocked Madelyn down. They were so caught off guard.

This is a picture of our cabana. The cabana sits out over the pool area. The girls and I swam in the water around it while we waited on our food to be delivered.

Back Splash slide was one of Madelyn's favorite slides. The slide had a big drop at the end before you were slung up a ramp.

After Mary Kaitlyn not going down a single slide the whole morning, she loved them after lunch. She was even going down on her belly head first. She LOVED it.
