First Day of Summer

Today was finally the first day of summer break.  We have been counting down the days for awhile, and Davis especially was excited to have Landon home all of the time since his preschool ended before Memorial Day.  To celebrate, we planned to go to a fun park for lunch that is a bit away.  Unfortunately, as we pulled up, we saw signs that said the park was closed for the day since it was reserved for a private event.  Luckily,  Lori knew of another park nearby, so we headed over there instead.  It was a great park, and we had a lot of fun trying out the fun playground.

After the park and naps, we came home, and the boys were begging me to set up the swimming pool we had just bought.  They were so excited and could hardly wait for me to fill it up.  The water was freezing cold, but that didn’t seem to stop them.  James kept saying “Water, Cold,” and shivering.  I finally made him get out when he couldn’t stop shivering anymore!

 

They each pulled up a chair to watch the pool fill with air

Testing out the cold water

I took a short video of James talking about the cold water.  It would have been even better if I had captured his look of shock as he went down the slide for the first time into the cold water, but this will have to do.

 

It was a great first day of summer.  Can’t wait for many more!
