Ayson's Pool Party and Waterpark Fun

A warm week with lots of pool time, Ayson's sleep over pool party with friends, and indoor waterpark fun on Sunday.  We hope that everyone is happy and healthy and enjoying summer!!!!

Mrs Oliver's completed her LAST week of day care for kiddos in LaFayette.  She is now officially retired (for the 2nd time) and has many trips planned for the fall.  Amy gave "Nature and Environment" presentations to Mrs Oliver's kiddos - with the help of activities from Cornell Lab of Ornithology including explaining the structure of bird and butterfly wings, learning about insect eyes and then taking the kids on a "Tiny Hike" and making music with animal sounds.  Thank you, Mrs Oliver for your dedication to the children!!!

ALL of these tomatoes came from one plant - a branch broke because it could not hold the weight of the fruit!

On Friday, Ayson had three friends over for a birthday pool party/sleepover.

The boys alternated from jumping on the trampoline (with the sprinkler on) and jumping in the pool.

Meanwhile, Addie and Thunder relaxed in her room.

Breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage!!!

Followed by more fun outside.

On Sunday, we went to Cascades indoor waterpark for a birthday party.  Good thing the party was indoors as it rained and thundered most of the day!

And the tube flipped :)

But he was all smiles.

In addition to the waterpark, the kids had fun frittering away $$ at the arcade :)

Ayson loved playing the basketball game.  Too bad his game did not keep track of his score!
