Our first week of summer fun!

I know all of you have been on summer break forever but we just experienced our first week of summer break and we have been having fun!

We went to Bubble Jungle with some family's from our ward. It is a fun indoor play land for the kids. We played most the day there. The girls were so happy running around with there church friends. They are so happy when they get to just spend the day speaking English with friends.

Out side Bubble Jungle by our bikes. It was a long ride there because we kind of got lost and it took us a while to find it. But we made it. we were happy to be there. Especially Kaitlyn she hates it when I get lost and make the bike ride longer then needed she really wants us to get a car!

Brooke came down this huge slide all by her self. She had to climb to the top and come down. No one encouraging her or helping her she just did it and when she got off she said... "WOW!" All my other girls I had to help and go down the slides with them and they were to scared but not Brooke, I turn my head for a second and she is coming down the largest slide she can find. Kaitlyn and Savannah are climbing up the shark. They are so cute when they play together. I wish we lived closer together so they could play more often. A closer picture of the 2 girls. Savannah's family is from South Africa. They are looking on moving soon, we will miss them also when they leave. After I took the girls picture -- Madison (Savannah's little sister) and Annalina (another girl from church) both wanted to be in the picture too so we took another. Brooke playing on the bouncing slide. She thinks it is so fun. She also stole Kaitlyn's hair band and put it on herself.


Brianna is going to steamroll down the slide. Kaitlyn is in the middle climbing up parts that weren't meant for climbing.

All the girls Brianna's age from church. Annalina and Shannia and Brianna are in front and in back up towards the top is Noel. Brooke is standing at the very top waiting for her turn and Kaitlyn and Savannah are lounging on the middle part.
Brianna thinks she is helping Brooke. Brooke decided to take this one, One bounce at a time. On the way down when she got to the bottom she had bounced so much and so hard her diaper exploded and all the inside absorbent stuff went all over the floor. I quickly grabbed a diaper changed her and cleaned it all up. That's my bouncing girl.
****
To help my children enjoy the summer even on the hot days (Hot days means it is 75 degrees out and the sun is actually shinning.... a lot of the summer day are in the high 60's with high chances of rain.) I have purchase some cheep fun items to use out on the trampoline when has attracted every neighborhood kid into my back yard for the last few days. Here are some pictures to see how my girls and there friends have used them and if I can I will add a movie or two.



Shanella and I took our girls to a park near Shanella's house. Shanella is in our ward and only lives about 20 minutes from me by bike. It is so nice to get together with her and her girls and just play and talk. This park had a nice shallow swim pool for the girls to play in. The girls didn't want to play in the park very long they just wanted to get into the pool. We didn't have there swim suits so we let them swim in some of there cloths. They had fun. Brooke however when naked because of the diaper thing. She then escaped the pool and found the sand box. Yuck! sand stuck all over her wet naked body!... So here are some pictures of my girls and Shanella's girls (Annalina and Shania) all playing together.



I also bought the girls some really big water guns because other kids in the neighborhood have water guns and well I figured they need to defend themselves. These ones were on sale and they were really big! But maybe I bought them too big for my girls what do you think?

Looks like fun!! Mathew was looking at your blog with me and he got all excited at the pictures and started yelling, "Mom! Can we go to that place??"
I had to tell him that I think it's a bit too far.

How fun! Strange that our summer is coming to an end with school starting and you are just getting to the good stuff :-)
