Dentist, Walk, 5 & Dime, Splash Pad Day


What a long summer day!  We started at the dentist office.  Ty loves this waiting room because it has a huge Thomas the Train set.  Luckily no cavities this time.  Yay!!  Although Wal-mart switched their coverage so I had to pay $20 each for their cleanings/checkups which was an unpleasant surprise.  There are so many things I LOVE about Craig working for Wal-mart but the health/dental insurance isn't one of them.



 
After the dentist we walked a fun trail around a little lake and I caught the cutest picture of Jenni holding Jace's hand.  Those two are 2 peas in a pod.  They just love each other.




 
After our walk we stopped by the Bentonville town square and I let them each pick out a prize and a few taffies from the Five & Dime store.  They were thrilled.  We don't get much candy around our house so it was a very special treat.








 
We had some free lunch at the Elementary school and then hit the city splash pad.  Brooke was super happy because her best friend, Kate happened to be there too.  It was an unexpected surprise.  Jace was excited about getting a snow cone and Ty just wanted to play with his toy bus he picked as his prize for no cavities.  Jenni wasn't too sure what to do at the splash pad but she too got into it and figured it out.  What a fun, busy, summer day!!

Swimming


Luckily we have close friends that let us crash their housing community pool several times a week.  My kids LOVE swimming and it's a win/win for everyone because they have fun and they are getting outside and exercising and then they are tired and ready for quiet time when we get home.  A housing community pool is on my wish list for future houses for sure. 
 




My Tyger

 
Oh, this kid cracks me up.  He would live all day, everyday, in his underwear
and his favorite blue shoes if I would let him.

Our Summer Backyard



School is out for the summer so we cleaned up the yard and picked up a mini pool for $5 at the neighborhood market as well as a fun, squiggle sprinkler head for the kids to cool off with.  Brooke did some tricks for me on the trampoline and wanted to show off our mini garden too.  Can you tell that she loves the spotlight?

 

 
The many faces of Ty.
