The WAV & More

We had one more opportunity to go to the WAV before it closed for the summer, and unfortunately Dad couldn't come with us. So I braved the 100+ temps and took them by myself. We survived and they all had a blast! Several of the boys' friends were there, so they were able to hang out with them. Radley was able to do almost everything this time. He tried to do the big slides and got rejected by one lifeguard. I sent him up later when one of the managers was at the top. He spiked up Radley's hair, made him stand on his toes, and finally just let him go down the much slower twisty blue slide, but told him he couldn't go down the fast red slide.  MJ thankfully, took a 20 minute nap while I reapplied sunscreen on everyone.  Overall, it was a very successful afternoon, and it was extremely exhausting!

Bentley and Damon swimming around.

Making sure her towel was just right

MJ was there too!   She was behind the camera with me most of the day and loved being held for 5 straight hours.

Now that Radley can swim he tried so  many  new things.  Here he is going down one of the big slides.

Floating around while I tried to take videos of the boys.

The first new thing Radley tried was the high dive.  You can tell he was nervous, but he did great!!

Kyler started doing front flips off the high dive.



There weren't many people there when we first arrived.  Really throughout the rest of the day not many people were there, so the kids rarely had to wait for anything.

Here's shaky video (thanks to Mackenzie) of Kyler going down the red slide.  He's been scared to go down it because his whole body comes off the slide.



Here's another shot of Kyler on the slide.  I never quite caught Damon, but he LOVES that slide and goes down over and over and over!

Amarillo

We had to go to Amarillo for Stake Conference because Kenney received a new calling at church.  He will be a High Counselor and have to go to a lot of meetings.  He's not too excited, but he will do amazing, as always.  While we were there we ran a few errands and stayed in a hotel.  I didn't get any pictures of the kids swimming there or camped out in the room watching TV, but they loved every second of being in the hotel!!  It was such a treat for them.  We also reaffirmed our dislike for sleeping in the same room as the kids; let's just say it was a long night without much sleeping for us anyway.

Home Depot, I tried so hard to get a picture of them all looking at me, but it never happened.  Here are some of the attempts.

She was so happy to ride with the big kids!

Everyone looking except the baby...

She finally looks and of course one of the others isn't!!

We tried to convince the other kids that Damon had the biggest mouth, but they didn't believe us.  So we took a picture and tried to prove it to them.  Kyler still thinks his mouth will grow, fat chance of getting bigger than Damon!
