Heritage Park Splashpad ~Day 2

My oldest nephew was not sure about the whole splashpad thing until I showed him pictures.

Of course once we got there he embraced the whole idea…

This is him and my oldest.

People guessed they were brothers because of the hair.

They indulged us really.

Can’t you just see the boredom on their faces…

joy

They were very good sports though and made it through.

What did we do the rest of the day?

The adults crashed while the boys spent most of their time playing with Lego’s.

Lego’s saved the adults I think.

We were worn out from all of that sitting and watching…

When summer came to visit with my nephews ~Day 1

My husband’s parents came to visit last week bringing my nephews with them and the heat…

We have had a pretty mild summer this year with just a few weeks of really hot weather but while they were here it was just HOT.

Everyone tried out the Slackline in our backyard before the day got too hot.

Since I have lived in Oklahoma so long I try to remember my “too hot” is not the same for everyone.

I can sit outside in the high 90’s and think “this is not too bad, kind of nice really”.

I recognize I am broken though…

I knew if we did anything outside it needed to involve water!

splash

I like water pictures anyway.

Thankfully kids like water also.

I think they feel like they are being destructive and making a mess but they are not!

Win, win.

After you are wet the intense heat feels pretty good.

Popsicles help also.

Followed by more water.

We survived the whole week with four boys and hot days!

I might need a vacation though!

We did a lot!

I will be sharing more of what we did, this week.

I can’t fit it all into one post!

A duel

duelNick has been gone since Sunday but gets back today.

I have been working on finding outlets for the boys energy while he is gone.

pacesI had them pulling weeds in the garden and thought a water gun fight would be a good way to cool off and wear themselves out.

It’s too bad they do not enjoy water guns…

fun

They indulged me though.

What do you do to help get the wiggles out of your kids?

You know, so they don’t tear the whole house down…

I have not been successful.

They decided to swing from the towel bar in the bathroom.

Shockingly  it ripped the screws from the wall.

They just do not make things like they used to…
