I can't tell you how much I love summertime with kids. Kaylee and Connor LOVE being outside so we have spent a lot of our summer doing just that.

I took the kids to the North Salt Lake Splash Pad a few times. They do okay but both love going to the playground more than playing in water so we usually end up at the park.




 We had so much fun and can't wait till next season. I got passes along with a few other ladies in my ward. My kids are so finicky in their behavior that I didn't call and meet up with friends very often. It was just easier to pick up and go when they were in good moods. But next year will be a little different because they will be older and will want to play with friends.
 At the beginning of the season and for most of it, Connor would play for a bit but then would take a nap in the stroller while Kaylee and I swam in the big pool. We also mostly spent our time at pirates cove at the beginning of the season. But by the end, I got brave and the kids got more comfortable- so we did everything except the big slides. I felt comfortable taking both kids in the lazy river, the big pool, and occasionally playing in pirates cove. Kaylee would swim on her own with her life jacket so I had free hands to help Connor. Kaylee would also go on the little slide in pirates cove by herself and stay right where I could see her most of the time. I would tell her if she didn't listen or if she left than we had to go home and we did a few times, so she learned and did really really well.
