Summer picnic and water fun

 Not far from home there is a park that is a phenominal park!  It is full of green fields, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a playground, a musical play section, swings, and so much more!  The section that is our favorite during the summer months is the "waterpark."  Now it is nothing compared to Noah's Ark or Roaring Springs, but it is fun for us!  The perfect way to cool off for free! 

 We've been taking Hannah here since she was little and now it is time for her to show the other three how to have some fun!  We like to pack a picnic dinner and spend the evening in the shade while the girls run around and play!

 Brooke tends to be the best eater out of the bunch!  At this point the other two were off and playing after finishing the main course...  Brooke stayed behind with Dad to finish off the sides too!

And little Miss Taylor is not too far behind!  Looks like she will be a good eater just like her sisters!
 There are so many things shooting and bubbling over with water that at first the girls just stood there taking it all in!

 Tay hung out with us in the shade.  In the past couple of days she has begun to crawl (or at least drag her self along the ground) so it will be no time before we can't contain her on a blanket anymore! 

 Kids + Water = Endless Fun!

 Brooke was tickled pink with all of the different things to do!

 Aspen's expression is the perfect moment captured of her time in the park!  Hannah and Brooke would run back and forth, snacking and drying off and warming up in the sun....  Aspen...  she just ran from thing to thing to thing the entire time!

 After a while John took Taylor to show her what all the excitement was about.  She was so sweet and I'm sure that she wanted to go in herself!

 Like I said before, Taylor is quickly on her way to crawling and I'm sure it will be no time before she is running around too!  She loves to flip over and pull herself up on John when he is on the ground with her.  She will practice over and over!

 Interesting flavor that was quickly accepted!  Welcome to the world of freeze pops Taylor!

 The girls were SO hungry after all of that playtime!  The bag was quickly torn open and not a kernel left for the seagulls flying overhead! 

 And closed freeze pops are a fun way that T cools down too!  It doesn't take much to please her...  Taylor is a pretty content little girl!

At the end of the evening all 4 girls were tired and happy!  Snuggled up in the car, we though they would all fall asleep on the way home!  Instead they waited till we got home and crashed!  So did we! :)
