Sunsplash on a Monday

We are lucky to have Dad home on Monday's. He doesn't work the night before so he is awake and ready to go. We decided that he would keep Coleman and take Lindsey to her orthodontist appt. while we went to Golfland/Sunsplash. Thanks Dad for being willing to take Cole and for having a "COLE experience" at the ortho office (they were running behind and of all days the movie they were playing was "Pirates of the Caribbean" one Cole had absolutely no interest in). I guess he wasn't too bad Erik treated Lindsey and Cole to a treat at Burger King afterwards. Lindsey then got to go hang out with Summer Edwards for the day. We on the other hand picked up Dallin Edwards, Conner's friend from church, and Whitney Steverson, cousin Lisa's oldest daughter, and went to Sunsplash (we have summer passes). We had a super FUN time. We went on I think every possible slide and activity possible. Carly's favorite thing to do was the GREEN lily pads (you hold on to two ropes and step on green lily pads trying not to fall into the water). Whitney loved the wave pool. The boys ran around from one thing to the next.

We packed our lunches to save money, that was nice. It gave us a little break in the shade and reminded us to drink water. Whitney downed a bottle of water in no time.
I loved spending time with the BIG kids. Tried to continually put sunscreen on them, but the sun still got the best of us. It was hard with the girls because they wore goggles and took them on and off constantly rubbing the sunscreen off. A super fun day!
Of course on the way home we had to stop at Dairy Queen and get a treat. Carly got her favorite DILLY bar and Whitney is a CHOCOLATE ice cream fan.
The boys both got CHOCOLATE dipped cones. I think they were wiped out! We came home and laid around all night.
