Fun Filled Summer Week

The first full week of summer vacation and we sure packed in some fun! We have been to the movies, swimming pool, state parks, backyard slip n slides….whew… no wonder I’m so tired this weekend!

Monday we didn’t do anything exciting, but on Tuesday, we went to see a movie at the real movie theater. We saw a veggie tales movie, “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything”. The boys loved it! They were on the edge of their seats the whole time! This was also Weston’s first trip to the theater…he did pretty good too! Luckily, it was during his morning nap so he fell asleep and napped through the whole thing! Tuesday night was Will’s very last baseball game of the season. They won again!! A record season 17w 1L! He had some pretty good hits this season and got to field a few from the outfield as well. The coach gave “candy awards” to each player for the last game. These were funny things about each player’s personality…guess which “candy” Will got? Milky Way – because he always seemed to be in outer space :)  Throughout the season Will’s name was probably the most heard name on the field. “Will pay attention!” …”Will, wake up out there!”….”Wwwwwiiiiilllllll”…..you get the picture….

Anyway….Wednesday we headed to Bledsoe Creek State Park to meet a “frontiersman” and learn about how people lived back in the old days. The boys loved hearing these men talk about the long hunters and the people that founded TN, Nashville and the Gallatin area. We saw ducks and played on the playground with friends from our playgroup.

Of course I didn't get a picture of the cool frontiersmen but I did get a picture of the boys at the lake!

AND Weston does come out of his stroller when we go places, I just am not able to get a picture because, well, I'm chasing Weston.

Thursday, We went to the Gallatin pool with Aunt Rachel, Landon and Noah. It was SOOO FUN!

Wyatt said later that day, "Daddy, the gallatin pool is AWESOME!"  The boys loved jumping off the side and of course....

The giant water slide was a huge hit!

Wyatt loved it!

Landon loved it!!

And Will loved it!!

Noah, not so much....maybe next year! :)

Overall, a fun day at the pool with our cousins!!

Friday we got out...

The Slip N Slide!

They were running back and forth from the pool to the slip n slide.

Splashing....

Wrestling on the slide...

Running through the water...

and Sword fighting....why is there always sword fighting?!!

After lunch we headed back to Bledsoe Creek to learn about how Indians made their own paint and then they got to paint. They painted leaves and paper and then the paper with the leaves and flowers. They had fun making "masterpieces"!

And we saw a deer on the way home!

It's gonna be a fun summer!!
