wantingababymaas-Bleacher-Report: Community Days

We took a weekend trip out of town to my grandparent's house to visit & partake in their community days weekend events. We slumber partied Friday & Saturday night & packed our days full of swimming, parade, fireworks & lots of fun. Grandma GG, Molly & Analeigh came too.

Playing in the park

It was HOT, HOT, HOT so we headed back to Grandma & Grandpa's for shade & water. We played outside some more. Bubbles, trikes & basketballs.

There was a large sheet of bubble wrap they wanted to get rid of, so we put it out for the kids to jump on.

Logan actually made quite a few shots while shooting some hoops.

And Hayden learned to pedal!! He has refused to really even try at home. And he just sat down on this trike & took off. We'll see if he can carry that over to his bike.

They played so hard, they ate 1/2 a bag of Cheetos for a snack before heading in.

We ended the evening with a FULL bathtub!

I think the days of kids hiding in clothing racks while shopping & panic attacks that a kid is lost are near. Hayden is ALWAYS hiding. At least so far he giggles all the while, so he is pretty easy to find.

Saturday morning started of with a pancake feed at Heritage Park.

This is the big turning griddle they make their pancakes on.

Kids racing to building to burn off some energy.

We did walk through one of the buildings with the kids. It was full of things & I figured the kids would just be naughty, but they were very intrigued. An old doctors exam table, old beds, an old metal bath tub.... they asked questions about all of it.

After breakfast.... we were ready for the parade.

The kids were a little shy about running out, which surprised me. But they had fun.

Hayden spent 1/2 of the time sitting & having Grandma open his candy. When he ran out, he came back to get more. Then went & sat down to eat it all again.

Yeah, we're pretty awesome!!

After the parade, it was off to bounce houses in the park.

It was so, so hot, but the kids played & played. They were soaking, dripping wet with sweat, but they had an absolute blast!

They did such an unbelievable job waiting patiently in line.

After a LONG afternoon nap, we headed off to my favorite swimming pool.

And immediately, the kids hit he big slide. Well, Hayden & Olivia did anyways.

Livi has been begging a week leading up to this weekend to go down the big slide by herself. And that she did. One adult went up to send her down (then came down with Hayden) & another adult just caught her at the bottom. In fact, towards the end, she even went up by herself & waited for the lifeguard to signal to her she could go.

Hayden rode on laps & on backs. Weirdo, wanted to go down sitting "behind a grownup" & just held on behind.

And then there is Logan.....

This is the only way he would come in the "deep" water without screaming & crying & scratching my skin off while I held him. He is SUCH a different personality than his siblings.

Meanwhile, Analeigh thinks she's a grown up!

They also went down the little slide a bunch.

Logan actually went down quite a few times, which he didn't do our last trip there.

And then there is THIS!!!

Yep she did it!!

Last time her & Hayden wanted to go, then didn't jump. Molly dropped them off the edge. This time, Hayden same thing. And Olivia.... she did it! Once she went once, she wanted to go a million times. My legs were sore afterwards from all the time I spent treading water. At first I had to count to 3 & then she would jump, but by the end she basically took off & ran right off without any fear.
