hot

It's been really hot here.

The fact that we don't have air conditioning may have something to do with that.

That's why I was SUPER excited to go to America the Beautiful Fountain & park on Friday, with my friend Mandy and her two adorable girls, Avery & Ashton.

First we hit the slides and swings.
I couldn't believe Hunter was doing this slide all by himself!



Then we made our way over to the fountain and discovered it wasn't working. We almost moved on to plan B but thankfully it turned on and the kids were able to splash around.

It was a really cool place. When I heard that it was a "fountain" I didn't have high expectations...but it was HUGE and really "neat-o." Take a look for yourself...


Hunter was a little intimidated at first...but not Avery. She is one brave girl. Can you find her?

Hunter warmed up to the water (as long as I was close by)


Baby Ashton is sooooo sweet and smiley...so is her momma, come to think of it!


This picture makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it. Not sure why it cracks me up SO much...I think it's because I can relate to the sisterly love :)
I just can't help but put it on here.

They really are the cutest bunch of girls ever.

And now for the most precious moments of the day...



We are definitely going there again!

Thanks for the fun, Mandy. It was such a great day and soooo nice to catch up and spend some time with you and your girls.
