Family Stay at Shelly & Jason's......


Ava was so excited to swim in their new pool!!

Ava had no problem jumping off the board and swimming in the deep end

Of course, whatever everyone else is doing, Owen wants to do.  He was a little hesitant but Owen went off the board too, many, many times!  At first I caught him but eventually he did it himself, went under briefly with his life jacket on, and than swam to the ladder!  Quite the fish I have!

Lunch time on the deck!

The splits!

Let's just say Owen loved the pool! 
 

Addie, Ava, & Sam

More Ava...
 

Toby!
 

Uncle Jason showing off his moves!

This was Ava's favorite game, diving through the ring!
 

Zachary had some impressive moves off the board including flips and some great dives!

It is safe to say the highlight of the kids' trip to Shelly & Jason's was the pool.  Ava could have lived in the pool the entire few days we were there.  She rarely came up for air and was swimming all over. Owen also loved the pool more than I have ever seen him at any other pool.  He was thrilled and talked about "go off board" the entire time.  Shelly was a wonderful hostess as always and we really enjoyed our time with all the family.  Sad to see Sandy and boys head back to Arizona.

Arnolds Park Day at the beach......



The day wouldn't be complete without visiting Bob's Drive In... 
 

And finally to cool off, a dip in the water
 
 

Owen was not a fan of the sand once again and just cried when by the water so he hung out in the shade with Reese!

We were all exhausted and hot, but a fun day!

A Warm Day at Arnolds Park...

 
 

We started on the train which was no disappointment to Owen
 
 

Then to the horsies!

Then on to the new ride which seemed to be a hit for the girls and Owen

He was quite the "conductor"

Time for the boats!
 

Then the dragons and fish!
 
 

On to Ava's favorite ride, the rollercoaster!  Owen was happy at the start

Both are still shrieking with delight

After round 3, Owen's excitement was starting to fade and he eventually cried.  Maybe next year!  Ava rode it twice, even though no one else would go on with her including Toby!

Owen had a new riding buddy
 
 

Owen and Toby enjoyed rides together!
Ava waited in line a very long time but loved this!

While the day was quite warm, we enjoyed a couple hours of rides at Arnolds Park.  I even went on the log ride with Ava and got wet which was quite refreshing!  Owen loved every ride except the kitty rollercoaster, and Ava loved it all!
