Cowabunga Fun!

In early August my grandparents and little sis from Alabama, McKenzie, met us for the day at the new Cowabunga water park. The kids had been dying to go for some time and Logan had the day off so it worked out perfectly. I think Logan and Amanda enjoyed the slides the most and the little boys loved floating along the lazy river and playing in the pool area. It was really fun and the boys keep talking about it!

Man Alive, He's ALREADY Five!

Collin's fifth birthday finally arrived on August 13th; he patiently waited (well sort of) for it as he attended numerous birthday parties for other family members in the prior months. His last day of swim lessons was that morning and Logan came to watch with a few dozen donuts in hand. Afterwards, Logan took Collin out for a special birthday lunch. That evening we opened presents and went out to eat at Red Robin.

On Friday we had a splash party with a hot dog barbeque and to die for cupcakes with family and a couple of friends. The kids had a great time and the looming dark clouds didn't open up until the very end of the party so everyone was happy!
