Fun City Play Date


We enjoyed some end of the summer fun by doing a play date at Huck's Harbor at Fun City in Burlington, IA. We met Nana, Jessica, Carter, Ellie, Ami, Sofie, & Harrison. This was the perfect place because there is an outdoor and indoor water park. We started the day enjoying the sunshine outside, but then it started storming. In 2 minutes we were moved inside and the fun continued. We ordered a huge pizza for lunch and not long after the sun was back out. We did the lazy river twice. The second time Grace insisted on having her own tube and did not want me to help her at all. I even went down the little water slides SEVERAL times with the kids on my lap trying to convince them they could do it by themselves. (Thankfully there are no pictures of that...) By the end of the afternoon with the exception of Faith they were all going down alone and very proud.
Titus as always was happy to hang out.
Love this picture. Carter is splashing Grace and she isn't digging it. But, actually Grace and Carter got along great and had lots of fun playing together.
Titus enjoying his car floatie from Nana.
Faith & Ellie -I love how their swimsuits are coordinating.
Sofie was the brave one in the group- she even went down one of the big slides!
Grace "organizes"(read bosses) playtime. And no, we don't know these girls.
This picture doesn't due justice to how large this pizza is, it was literally as big as the table!
The whole gang enjoying pizza.
It was a great day and the kids enjoyed every minute. It worked out that we headed to Grandma & Grandpa's house on the way home so the girls could stay overnight. They came home with an entire bucket of rocks and lots of stories. I enjoyed a night of having just my "guys" all to myself. Jeremy and I went on a date and then played Scrabble. Which we used to do all the time when we lived at Rock River, but haven't done in forever. Before picking the girls up on Saturday we went to check out the 18 Wheeler Restaurant, a truck stop near us that was featured on the Food Network.
