Pool or Water park?

(Micaiah has begun to squeal like Piglet when he gets excited.)

(Amber hates getting water up her nose:)

(In case you can't tell, Anna is behind that wall of water!)

Since living in Shawnee we have discovered that the local pools are much more than just pools. They are more like water parks than pools. The above pictures are taken from just one of the pools called, Splash Cove. It is a whole lot of fun to say the least. This particular location has a water playground for the kids (kids from 1 to 92 that is) that is equipped with slides, buckets of water that are constantly pouring down on you and a barrage of water canons shooting in every direction. There is also a wave pool that Anna believes to be the ocean, a 4 ft deep wading pool and an exciting water slide for the "bigger" people. We decided to buy a season pass to these pools and I am so glad that we did. We are determined to soak up as much of this summer as possible before the barrenness of winter creeps back in.

Got Smoothie?

So recently Amber and I have been on a "health" kick and we started drinking berry smoothies at night. Well, when Micaiah saw the smoothie being made he would not rest until he was allowed to try a sip. After that first sip he wouldn't let go of the cup and by the time that he did half of Amber's smoothie was gone. I grabbed our little point and shoot camera in time to capture this photo of him having just finished chugging his mama's smoothie. Let's just say that I am glad that Amber offered to let him try "some" of hers :)
