Landa Pool

We made our first trip to the Landa Park pool today. To say that the boys had fun would be an understatement. We started at the "Zero Depth Pool", which is a chlorinated kiddie pool. It has a small water slide, about 4 feet long. The boys had a lot of fun on that. Then we put on their life jackets and went to the "Olympic Pool" and waded with the boys for a while. The boys practiced their kicking. Then it was more sliding, followed by a snack. The only spot we saw was in the sun so snack time wasn't too relaxing, but Dan went in search of greener pastures and he was successful!

We moved to a nicer, shadier, calmer, less congested area near the springer pool. We got a nice spot in the shade of a tree and set up camp. So the boys finished their snack. 



After snack Dutch wanted to play on the playscape that Dan discovered and we were sitting near. 


Baker wanted to go down the big water slide though so Dan took him. It was AWESOME!  Dan went Baker a few times and with Dutch once. After one time Dutch wanted to go on his own. We were nervous but he did great! And he did it A LOT. Baker loved it too, but we wouldn't let him go alone. 

After a couple of hours at the pool, we decided it was time to head home and get dinner started. Now, it was about 4:30 pm and Baker had not taken a nap yet, he was tired. Both boys slept hard the whole way home. 


At home we had sausage and a movie.


I think we all had a good day!

Dutch's 4th Birthday Party

Image
For Dutch's birthday we decided to go to San Angelo and visit with Dan's family.  We had a great time! I think Dutch had a good time too, he definitely enjoyed his birthday party. We arrived Thursday evening with a couple of HUNGRY little boys.  After we got them fed they played for a bit and then it was time for bed.  On Friday we just hung out around the house and prepared for his birthday on Saturday.  We did go out for dinner to Catfish Corner though...YUM!  I, of course, did not have catfish.  I usually get their chicken strips which are really good, but this time I went with a cheeseburger and it was really good too.  Everyone else had their catfish and said it was delicious.  Dan decided to do one over on them.  He ordered the 'All You Can Eat' plate, but he refused to fill up on the sides, he went full on with the catfish.  I think he stuffed down about 12 pieces! On Saturday, we got right to work getting things ready for tha...

Unexpected Adventure

Image
We went to hang out in the river at the Berry's house after nap time.  They have a great spot that is only a few inches deep, is covered in smooth rocks, and the water flows nicely.  The boys really like it there, especially when they are allowed to throw rocks. While we were there a few weeks ago the wind picked up.  I handed Baker to Dan so I could get out of the water.  The wind made Baker cold and he was clinging to Dan so tight!  They made their way back to the car while I got Dutch out of the water.  By the time Dutch and I got to the car Baker was sitting in the open trunk wearing Dan's shirt. Once we go the boys dried off a bit we got into the car.  Soon the rain started.  We had so much fun sitting in the car watching the rain! It was a wonderfully unexpected adventure.

On the Train!

Image
Dutch and I went for our first train ride today.  We had a blast!  Dutch loved every minute of it, he was all wide eyes and smiles.  He named all the train cars we saw (he chose names from his How to Train a Train book).  Our train car was named Nathan.  Santa made an appearance about half way through the two hour trip.  A little while later Mrs. Claus gave us some yummy sugar cookies.  It was an awesome day and I'm so glad I was able to share it with Dutch! {We've got our tickets, now we have to wait to board the train} {Dutch got very cold while we waited} {Finally, we are on the train} {They read us a story about the train ride} {Santa!} {Santa gave him a train whistle, all the kids were blowing them on the train} {Mrs. Claus is handing out cookies} {We are on our way back to the station}
