summer fun

In between our summer trips, in order to keep 

sane, we attempted to keep the kids busy as much as possible.

One morning it was BEAUTIFUL outside and COOL!  That does NOT happen during Texas summers.  So, we took advantage of it and headed to our new favorite park.

Boston has a SLIGHT obsession with America Ninja Warrior, so basically this park visit turned into practice facilities for him to prep for the show one day.

 We found a new trampoline park the kids love.  If you take them there for an hour, they are worn out.  It's even fun for Nolan!  Check!

 We took all the cousins to see the summer movie.  I love doing those movies although I DO NOT love going with a 10 month old.

 Of course pool days are a MUST in the summertime.

 We decided to let the kids try the whole mentos and coke explosion gig.  We learned later it was supposed to be DIET coke but hey, it still worked.

I'm sure they would have LOVED to drink all that Coke.

 Then, we followed that up with a water balloon fight. Kristin bought the new thing that fills up 30 (or 50?) water balloons at once.  It totally works although they are TINY and SUPER hard to bust...

 And since they are SO hard to break, that means you have to throw them REALLY hard to get them to bust open....which in turn creates some sad children.

Whoops!
