Splash Park

Yesterday we met up at a splash park with cousins Jacob and Karoly to play in the water. It turns out we picked a perfect day to do it--the cooler weather we'd been having let up and we had a beautiful sunny afternoon there to play. It took the boys quite a bit of time to warm up to the idea of getting sprayed randomly from all directions, but when it was time to leave we had to use cookies to bribe the boys into getting back into the car. We will definitely be going back!

 After crying for 20 minutes on the way to the park, Aaron fell asleep minutes before parking the car. 

 Matthew was more interested in the playground at first.

 Karoly, looking awfully cute.

 The shirt has come off...we're ready for some serious play.

 Finally getting into the water.

 Not so afraid of getting wet anymore.

What a fun day!

PS. This post only took 45 minutes to write, being interrupted about 35 times. I think I will go back to writing late at night after everyone is sleeping.

Cousin fun

Yesterday we had lots of play time with family. Aunt Bea came over and played with the boys while I made a solo trip to the grocery store. Not quite how I would choose to spend my alone-time, but WAY better than going shopping with all three kiddos. The boys had a picnic lunch on the deck with Bea, then after Matthew went down for his nap, Bea took Daniel on an adventure to her house. He brought me home a very sweet bouquet of flowers he picked in her garden. While he was out with Bea, Uncle Ian and Auntie Robin and cousins Jacob and Karoly came over to play. It was so nice to have time together with them and we shared some delicious food (and dessert!). We're looking forward to spending more time with them next week!

 The cash register is a hit with everyone.

 I love that they're all playing in close proximity to but independently of each other.

 The weather finally came around and we were able to get outside. Aaron tries to figure out the squirt gun while Karoly plays with Aaron's pacifier.

 Jacob takes a tour of the new play structure.

 Karoly lounges in the exersaucer.

 Now that we've had a chance to refuel, it's pool time again!

 Two moms and a fussy baby. :)

 I had just announced that it was bath time. Only one kid was pleased with this.

A tub full of cousins. Even though Karoly isn't looking, this is my favorite picture of the bunch. Too bad Matthew has been hostile at bath time. It would've been cute to get a picture of all of them in there.
