Splash Park

We did it. I convinced Arik to come sleep out on the couch with the twins while I took the older boys to the Splash Park. I made him a pretty nice little bed out in the living room, turned the air down and closed all the blinds. I made sure the twins were fed and content for the most part and then I loaded everyone up. By everyone I mean my cousins Joseph and Jaena and Lara across th street. So not only one helper, but three! We all had a really fun time. The older kids did the super slide and Maddox and Jaxon again just splashed and swam the entire time. They are both finally putting their whole heads under the water and really making an effort to swim. I took the boys over to the competition pool next to the Splash Area and we watched the older three do jumps off the diving board. They thought that was neat and they didn't want to leave. We ended up running into a little girl from Maddox's class ( Olivia, oddly enough ) and it was so funny. Her mom has told me in the past that Olivia talks non-stop about Maddox, so it came as no surprise that all she wanted to do was play with him today. She would try so hard to catch up to him or talk to him and he would just scoot off or for the most part ignore. Occasionally he would walk near her to play and then just as quickly he was off again. So I decided that Maddox was already playing hard to get:) We came home and took naps after pizza and now we are all just doing a whole lot of nothing....Well as nothing as can be expected! Arik is off golfing with Derek...you've all heard of the term "Bromance" I'm sure......enough said:)
