I hate summer colds! The week after vaction bible school and the week I start school this year, I come down with a cold. I think I got too stressed out from dealing with both kids alone while teaching vbs. I even had to send Will home one day because he wouldn't listen to me. So here it is the first week of the school year and I can't breath through my nose. I hate it!
I bought the kids a water sprinkler to play with at Mema's house. Here they are today having a ball!
Our staycation continues with a trip to Bowling Green and Beech Bend Park. I had checked out the prices, and if we went at 4:00 pm, it was half price. So with thwo kids who wear themselves out fast, that sounded like the best deal for us. Three hours in an amusement/water park was all we needed with our two kids. So we left the house at 2 thinking that Will would take a nap on the way there... no deal! We stopped to eat at SteaknShake. I wish we could have spent more time in BG, it was Corvette Homecoming weekend. I bet the kids would have loved to see all the vettes there. (I know the biggest kids would have LOL)
We finally get into the park and it is not crowded at all. The longest we had to wait for a ride was maybe 5 minutes because it started right as we got to it. Kaitlyn wanted to ride lots of rides but we had to remind her that Will wanted to ride them also. We went to the petting farm there also and fed the goats. I think they scared Kaitlyn some because they kept chasing her for more food.
The water park was a blast! They had this wonderful kids area and the kids played there the entire time. I did get Kaitlyn to go down the water slide with me twice. The first time, she loved it. The second time we had a mishap at the end and she went under the water unprepared. She got a little choked on it.
I was not prepared for our staycation because once again I forgot the camera. So no pictures of Will's first fish, no pictures of the kids feeding the goats, and no pictures of the kids playing in the water.
We took the kids fishing this evening. It was so much fun to watch Will trying to fish... he actually caught the only fish... or I should say I caught it with his pole because he was running away from me. The pond we were at was a house down from where I grew up... the road is highly traveled which means we had to keep a close eye on Will. Will's fish was about 3 inches long... and the hook was barely in it, which means I was lucky. Don and I bought a day fishing license so we could fish with the kids. What is amazing is my brother use to fish at this pond before we were required to have fishing licenses.
Kaitlyn was upset that she didn't catch a fish, but we reminded her that the last time we went fishing, she caught the only fish and it was larger than Will's 3 inch fish.
Here are the before and after pics of my hair cut. Now please understand that I had to take the pics all by myself.
It is time to get rid of this long hair. So in just over an hour I am getting my hair cut.... about 3 inches of it will be coming off. I will post pics once I get back.
We are going on a staycation! Meaning we are staying home and taking the kids to an amusement park about an hour away. It's neat amusement park.... Beech Bend Park. It has rides, mini golf, petting zoo, and a water park! I hope the kids enjoy it, right now it will only be the four of us going. Kaitlyn has been before... Will, well I was pg with him the last time we went. I didn't get to enjoy the park when we went the last time, but I was pg, suffering from morning sickness, and was hot!
