All new excitement at Auntie Jen's

Last Saturday morning, the kids and I headed out of town to go and spend some quality time with Aunt Jen & Uncle Ash. They have an amazing new house that they just bought and we figured it was long overdue and about time that we spend some time with them on their own turf since they make more than their fare of trips over to the Panhandle. Check out the unbelievable fun time that was had by all (young and old).

After lunch & nap time on Saturday, we headed up to their neighborhood pool. No, this is not a water park or them park... it is the community pool. Pretty cool, huh? When Thomas & Abby saw this, I think they were in utter "aweness" and were super excited. Notice Thomas already going down the slide on the left side of the picture. Abby showed no fear also... she is headed up the steps on the right side of the picture. No worries - adult supervision was in full affect, but they went full steam ahead without a 2nd thought in looking back for us. I love the "zero entry" pool also... the fact that kids can just walk in like its a beach is super cool.

Taking a much needed snack break...

and getting some sun with her juice box.

Sisterly love

This is the part that intimidated Thomas. He was having a great time playing and squirting and slidding and then.... it dumped. It dumped a TON of water on everyone. Needless to say, he put his guard up a little and was a bit more cautious about the dumping bucket.

He loved running all around the water... and he was insistant on you chasing him too.

Some little girl was exhausted at the end of the day... apparently too much excitement.

Sunday morning, Thomas & Mommy were up before everyone else. So... we enjoyed a morning smoothie together (which is what Thomas is trying to figure out) and a morning stroll around the neighborhood in our 'jammies.

Morning snack time with cartoons

Sunday was just as beautiful so we headed out to the park shortly after breakfast. Lots of climbing, sliding, running and exploring.

Are these beautiful Mossy Oak Trees not gorgeous? We went for a walk down by the creek & bridge and it was just sooooooooo nice with a cool breeze and the shade all around.

Thomas & me even tried to climb one of the big 'ol trees but kinda got stuck so we had to come back down.

Auntie Jen & her Abbers... 2 peas in a pod.

This is a sure sign that a good time was had by all... both of my munchkins slept almost all the way home on the 3 hour drive. Surely we will head back soon to visit Auntie Jen & Uncle Ash.
