Friday morning Brandon watched the kiddos for me while I went to a Zumba fitness class with my neighbor. Oh boy was it a workout! It was fun and the teacher was awesome and the class didn't even feel like an hour long. However, I felt the after effects all weekend long... every muscle in my body was sore. The rest of the day we hung out around the house and let the boys take their naps. That evening we went over to the Mitchell's house for a cookout. We all had a good time! The kids had fun playing in their backyard and in their playroom. The food was delicious! I always like a pot luck and get to tasty all sorts of yummy foods. It was a great get together :)
Saturday morning we had planned to hit up the pool on Post that we enjoyed so much last year. I mistakenly thought that it opened at 10 but when we arrived their at 945 and saw the sign said 11 we were bummed. We didn't want to have to travel back home and find something to do for another hour especially since we were already geared up in our bathing suits and such. So we decided to head up to Hopkinsville and go to the Tie Breaker Water Park. They opened at 10 and we arrived their about 1015 and there was quite a crowd. We waited a good thirty minutes in line before it was finally our turn to pay and go in. The place was packed, but luckily we found a spot with two lawn chairs and we had brought the jogging stroller to put Scott in. Brandon took the kids to play in the splash zone area and I found a shady spot near by to sit with the baby. He did really well. He wasn't crazy about the water. In his defense, it was a little chilly. But overall he was content. We broke for lunch and to feed Scott. Then back to play some more until it was time to call it a day and head home. Henry fell asleep on the way home. He was exhausted. He is quite the fish this summer and loved playing in the water. He continued his nap at home and I laid Scott down who took quite a good nap himself. I think the sun all wore us out but we had lots of fun and were pleased to know that Scott could handle that environment well. I am positive we will be back there quite a few times over the summer. Brandon did some yard work that afternoon then we headed out to grab some dinner and rent a movie for our family movie night. We ate at Zaxby's and rented The Smurfs. P stayed up to watch the whole movie but Henry couldn't make it. The water park wore them both out.
Sunday was a quiet day around here. It was quite hot outside!! Brandon washed his car that morning while the kids played outside. He fried up chicken tenders for our lunch. We tend to eat our big meal of the day during lunchtime on the weekends. After lunch was quiet time for this house.. both boys took a nap and P played in her room. That afternoon we did a little roaming in town and then picked up a pizza for dinner. We did our walk around the neighborhood then our typical nightly routine.
Monday morning I woke up and got ready to head to the Greenway Trails with my friend/neighbor Erin. We took Scott with us and he enjoyed being in his stroller. We walked for a good hour then headed back home. It was another uneventful day around the house. I did some tidying up and laundry. Brandon grilled out some hamburgers for lunch. It was all yummy! Henry took his nap, we got ready and headed onto Post to the pool. It was crowded but luckily we found a spot in the shade by the sprinklers. Both P and Henry had a blast. H is becoming quite the little fish. Scott enjoyed himself too. I sat with him by the baby pool and even put his legs in. I am so glad he is a content, go with the flow baby :) We played for almost 2 hours before it was time to leave. We picked up Sonic for dinner on the way home and ate at the house. The kids played out front for awhile before coming inside to get baths and ready for bed.
I am so thankful we had such a great long weekend. We were in desperate need of some good family time and this weekend definitely provided it. Lots of fun was had this weekend :) Glad Brandon has a short work week this week! We have an exciting next week coming up... my aunt and uncle will be visiting us for a few days starting Sunday, Brandon starts his leave next Monday and then were off to SC for a long weekend next Thursday. Looking forward to it all!!! :)
