Wednesday

Not a terribly exciting day to read about but one of those where you still feel pretty accomplished by bed time. Everything on "the list" was accomplished, Sophie was able to name and identify all of the letters, several numbers and happily did 3 workbook pages, laundry got done, dishes were done (...over and over), garbage cans emptied, diapers restocked, a show watched while snuggling the girls and nobody got hurt, sick or in huge trouble for destroying their room during nap time!

The evening was even more fun, though. Ancestry does a couple parties a year and for the summer party, they rented 7 Peaks for the evening. Yummy catered dinner, a movie on a giant inflatable screen complete with popcorn and candy, and, of course, lots of water fun! Olivia was most content when she was able to just wander around & do her own thing in the kiddie pool area. Sophie, on the other hand, loved the big slides. She wanted to ride on all of the tube runs, which she went on about 6 times between Craig and I. We also went on the mat slide a couple times and she loved that! The wave pool, lazy river, bigger kid play area with slides, and waterfall pool were also favorites. It was so much fun getting to take her on her own on these little adventures without any of the other girls. Little miss Olivia couldn't have been happier when we put her in her pjs and on the camping chair with a blanket. Maybe next year she'll be more interested in the pool. If not, that's cool, too :-)
