A fun summer activity!

What do you do ona hot summer day? Go to the local splash park of course! We went with some friends for a fun time at the park. It is free and the kids love it!:) Natalie and her best friend Lauren. They have been friends since before kindergarten. They were meant to be friends for sure--they even look alike!

They have the funniest story of how they became friends: Lauren moved in down the street and came out one day looking for someone to play with. She saw Natalie and she went up to her and said," I have pokey weeds in my bum will you help me pull them out?" Natalie helped her and she says that's how she and Lauren got to be friends. Natalie even wrote a story about it for school! If someone pulling out pokey weeds from your bum isn't a good friend then I don't know what is. Anyway, here's a shout out to all my good friends out there for all the things you have done for me!:) Hallie figuring out how to squirt the boys!
Abbie and her new favorite picture pose-"like a ballerina!"
And here is trouble! Jace is one crazy boy and he isn't afraid to try anything.
The super cute girls having a snack break in the shade! Natalie and Lauren, Hallie and Anna, Emily and Abbie.

That is so cool it's free! You don't get much for free these days, so when you do you better take advantage.

The poky weeds story is really funny. That is a true friend. Looks like a great place to go in 90+ weather!!

Wow, Natalie's friend Lauren really does look like her. I was just showing the pictures to Ashley, and she asked why Natalie was wearing her tee shirt at the splash park!
