Summer...Here We Come!


So Summer has officially started!! As usual I am sure it will just fly by, because our main goal for summer is to have fun and Mama rarely wants to hear the words, "I am bored!"
On Corbin's last day of Pre-K we met my Cousin Jennah and her family at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. (Chloe stayed home with Mummy) It was just a special trip for Corbin to celebrate going to Kindergarten next year. Corbin has such a blast with his cousin's Jaxson and Jantzen. They play so well together and Great Wolf is such a neat place. Corbin and Jaxson loved the lazy river and the wave pool best. We all played at the Water park late, stayed up late jumping on beds, played at the arcade, ate ice cream and had the best time. What a way to start off our summer!

I had to get Corbin's picture in front of the BIG Wolf...he was so excited to get in and start playing he seemed a little annoyed wtih me and said, "Come on Mom...I MUST see inside!!"
I love when I take pictures of our kids together. It always reminds me of my sweet cousin and how blessed I was to grow up with her. So when I see my light hair kiddos next to her dark hair kiddos...I always say, "just like their Mama's!"

Corbin loved that this BIG bucket of water dumped out every 5-10 minutes. He would just crack up laughing when it dumped on his head. The boys in the lazy river! Nice pose, Corbin.


Corbin is attacking the waves in the wave pool.
This was in the arcade as we were about to leave. We just were playing one more game and Corbin hit the jackpot...250 tickets. He couldn't believe it. He picked out something for him and something to take home to his sister!


We have also kicked off our summer with visits to our neighborhood pool and our neighborhood spray park. One thing about the street we live on, you can always find someone ready for some fun! Corbin and Chloe with next door neighbors Cody and Carter. (Yes...that is alot of "C" names...especailly when you are calling all of their names to get out of the street!...AND Cody and Carter just added a new baby brother, Cason to the family.) :)

All the kids at the spray park. Again, Corbin with the pose!Swimming time has arrived. Corbin is doing great with swimming...he can pretty much swim across the pool on his own. We still have to watch him pretty close and remind him to rest if he gets tired. Chloe will barely get her chin in the water and say, "I DID IT!! I am swimming!!" They both love the water and it is a fun family outing.

Corbin with his neighbor buddy, Will. They will be going to Kindergarten together.
