Liberty Park

We drove down to Sandy late Wednesday night.  We didn't get to my mom's house until after midnight, but it was nice to sleep inside after so many days in the camper.  Thursday was a kick back kind of day or at least it felt that way.  Looking back, we actually did quite a bit.  I did laundry and mowed my mom's lawn.  The kids played.  Kyle shut himself in Sadie's kennel.  We debated leaving him in there.

We went to the hospital to meet our newest nephew, Dave and Kelly's baby boy Carter.  (Forgot my camera for that though.  Doh!)  Bought cupcakes from The Sweet Tooth Fairy for a belated birthday dinner for my mom.  Ate THE BEST roast beef sandwiches ever for dinner.  Hung out with Alex.  It was a good day.

We had another great day on Friday.  We ate lunch at my favorite fast food place ever, Rubio's.  Oh, yum!  Three fish tacos and a Vanilla Coke later, I was ready to face the day.  We took the kids to Liberty Park for some mostly free (!) fun.

They played on one of the large playgrounds.

Coaxed Aaron to go down the tube slide.

Played some music.

Splashed at an amazing water park.  This place was awesome!  The only downside was when I had to pull out my mom voice and tell some kid not to ride his bike through the water.

I left Sarah and Aaron alone for a few minutes with the camera.  They had a fun photo shoot.  Aaron showed off his muscles and his tough guy face.

His silly grin.

Kissy, kissy!

Awww!  Who loves his big sister?

Four Washington kiddos enjoying the sun!

We bought snowcones for a tasty treat.  The after effect...  :)

 Mom and I took a pretty darn good scrunch picture.

The kids got to ride two rides.  They chose the carousel...

...and the ferris wheel.  My mom hates ferris wheels.  She had a traumatic experience with one as a child.  Even though this was a small one, she still didn't even like watching the kids go on it.  The kids had a blast though.

Emma was an angel baby (of course) and hung out in her stroller.

By the end of the afternoon we were all hot and tired.  Aaron thought he would be silly and wear Emma's sun hat.  These next pictures were taken over the course of about 5 minutes. 

Fading fast...

He's out!

Two boys down!

We had a great afternoon.  I would totally go to Liberty Park again!
