Wet and Wild!


Even though the old Wet "N Wild in G-town has long since disappeared, we still know how to have some fun in the sun.  The Pointer Sisters joined us at the lake a few weeks ago and all 6 kids had a great time.

After swimming in the lake for a good while, it ws time to break out the tube.  Our kids are getting a little more brave, especially when they ride with Daddo.  Lila even stood up on the tube, but it was too short-lived to get a picture of it!

Since J insists on always staying inside the wake and going a sensible speed, Jared has to find ways to liven things up.

Presley and Teagan, on the other hand, are totally fearless!  They were awesome!

Even though little Temple is not quite two yet, she still thinks she's just as big as the rest.  She tried surfing for herself and even did a little jig to "Little Sally Walker" as her daddy sang it.  Her little booty was shaking back and forth--too cute!!

A few days later, we hung out with more friends at this really great pool. 

Lila did a lot of swimming that night, but took a little breather on top of her dad's shoulders.

Six adults and six kids all in the pool together.  Lots of splashing and laughter, for sure.

After dinner, it was time to break out the water balloons.  These kids were SO excited!  Aunt Hayley is more fun than me, and actually spent an hour filling them all up before we got there.  Thanks, Hayley!

Most of the kids were content to throw them on the ground...but J took aim at Price.  Good thing he took cover!  The fun was over in about 60 seconds, but it was one of their favorite things of the night.

After the water balloon fight, the kids found the swingsets and trampoline.  The big boys played ball with Jackson and had their own version of the Home Run Derby.  We ended the night by letting the kids swim as the sun went down.  It really was the perfect summer night.
