"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Swimming at Ross Park

Josh was gone for a week working and at High Adventure so I was on my own. I decided to get out and go play. I took the kids to Ross Park to swim. I was thinking I might be crazy for doing that by myself with 4 kids but it actually worked great. The kids had a blast and I had a nice relaxing day as well. We ran into our friends the the Torman’s there so the kids had fun playing with their kids. Jaxon was loving the water, he splashed and played and had lots of fun. It was a beautiful day, I went at 3:00 and stayed until 7:30 and there was hardly anyone there after 5:00 it was so nice. We had a fun day together.DSC_0272DSC_0273

The girls could have sat under the waterfall for hours, they loved t!!DSC_0276

These are seriously the biggest helpers with Jaxon. I don’t know what I would do without them. Jaxon thought the tire swing was wonderful.

This little guy kept getting out of the water to get drinks and then he would try to bring the water with him in the water. He kept me running the whole time we were there.

By the end of the night Maddy and Kynzee had master the lilly pads. This was the first time they tried them and they did so good!! I sat in a tube in the lazy river with Kenna and Jaxon and we watched them play as we went around, so much fun.
