Grandma's Backyard Water Park

The last post was about Grandma Joan's water fight and this post is about Grandma Laurie's water toys. I guess Grandmas know how much little kids love to play in the water!

So Dallon decided to invite my sister, Heather, and her kids over to Grandma Laurie's to play in the massive blow-up water park that she has at her house. She also has a pool - the "white-trash pool" as they respectively call it - but we all seem to enjoy it and the kids love it!

We had so much fun. We stayed there for 4 hours and had to drag the kids out of the water to go home. Even Phoenix, who doesn't usually get too interested in getting wet,was one of the last ones out of the water.

Heather, Alex, Isaac, Olivia, Erin & Dallon showed how they like to relax in the water best. Alex's was a little funny - the horse tube kind of made it the best of show. Heather's was pretty good as well, unfortunately or perhaps intentionally, I don't have a picture of this!

Isaac had a blast - I have never seen him so active! He was playing with the other kids, laughing and just very happy. It was good to see this side of him! He is usually so mellow.

Dallon & Erin of course just kept running back and forth between pool and slides - they never seem to make up their minds which they are going to do for that minute... then it's off to something else!

Grandpa came home from work and jumped into the water-park with all his work clothes on! The kids thought this was hilarious. Then Grandma & Grandpa cooked hot dogs for dinner and then the kids all went back to the water! Like I said, we had to drag them out when it was time to go home.

We had so much fun! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for setting everything up and feeding us dinner!
