Summer Water Fun and Park Days!

WATER PARK
My friend Jaime invited us to the water park in her community. It was so much fun and I loved spending time with her, her son and daughter. It was great place.
J and J before they ran out to the water.

The view of it all.

Josie and group waiting for the bucket. She is in pink about halfway between the two yellow poles.

That is Josie with her hand by her face waiting for the bucket to tip.

This is what the water pouring out of the bucket looked like splashing on them.

Caught them one of the times before they got out.

Josie played in this fountain while they were on break from the play yard.

Dina and I enjoyed the shade!



PARKS
Here are the days I remembered to take pictures...sometimes I just want to take it all in and not take pictures!
She loves to climb, climb, climb!



I pushed Dina in the stroller and walked around the playground path while Josie played.

They loved the slides together.



Another park, where Josie loved pushing Dina in the swing!

Dina did seem to enjoy it, just didn't get a smile on camera.


This is Josie's favorite park because of the tire swing!!

She did this...

but mostly this!

Dina loved watching Josie on it...

so I put her on it for a picture.



BEACHES
Tim, Josie and I headed to the beach on a very cold day. We had been trying to go for awhile and Josie didn't want to wait any longer. It was not crowded but was very cold and windy. We went anyways. Nothing could change her mind. We last only an hour. It was Josie's decision to leave. It was that cold. She had a great time throwing the ball in and letting the current bring it back in to her. I tried to take her in the water but it was just tooooooo cold!




Tried to get a pic of us....but my eyes were closed in first and Tim's in the second. Oh well!!




Josie was so excited that Savannah and Addison invited her to go to the beach with them and their friends. We picked her up before it started to get dark and Savannah and Addison stayed for a fire pit night with friends. She came home and was so excited to tell us that she went up to her neck deep with Savannah. She was talking about the next time so she could go deep again. I told her only if she can only go that deep with someone older. I tried to get her to go more often during the summer and she never really wanted to. She hates how much sand gets in her swim suit and where it gets :). She loves to play in it though! But, she would always have fun once we were there. Now she wants to go all the time after this trip there.
