I know it's the 1st of OCTOBER, but somehow I missed AUGUST

So I was going through pictures (actually I was correcting a little problem that I created which forced me to go through all the thousands of pictures I have on my computer - but back to the point. . . ) I realized that I had forgotten part of August, and a part of August that was really, really fun.

SO HERE WE GO!

First we had a FOOD FIGHT!

Only one of the funnest (is that a a word?) birthday parties we have ever been to!

There was a RED TEAM

And a BLUE TEAM

And after everyone had received either a Red or Blue T-shirt with the words FOOD FIGHT on the front and after a few rules. . .

Everyone got their own plate of FOOD,

and they went at it!

SO FUN!

BATTLE SCARS

Thank You Birthday Girl

for such MEMORIES!

And what could top that day?

Well. . .

You see our "family" didn't really take a vacation this summer (Beach house comes at the end of the summer so it hadn't happened yet) Kyle and I took a little vacation together, but we realized that we hadn't really done anything  with the kids (now don't go thinking their summer was a complete bust - I try to keep things fun around our house) so we decided to hit the local water park. We have lived here almost 9 years and had never gone so this summer we went.

And fun we had!

Kale and Dad went around and rode the water slides together most of the day.

I did get to take Kale on the MASTER BLASTER - and while he wasn't a fan - I found my new favorite water slide.

Kristopher would have been content to spend the entire day at the wave pool He loved it.

We also had a great time in the kid area.

Especially with the bucket that drops a ton of water on you every few minutes.

And just so you don't think she didn't like being dumped with a bucket of water - here is proof that she was having the time of her life.

We also spent a lot of time in the LAZY RIVER. . .

Really is there a better way to spend a summer day?

And we ended the day with this face!

I'm not sure whether she is telling me

1.  to leave her alone

2. that she finally got her way

or 

3. I'm cold, hungry, and I didn't get my nap. What do you expect?

OK now we can BRING ON FALL!
