We have been so busy already this summer, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Originally we didn't have anything planned and now we're making plans for the end of July as they are our only open weekends. It has made the summer very fun and enjoyable!
Last Saturday the 9th we had a day full of Streetball downtown, a bridal shower, a cookout and ClaytonFest. It was a hot day but we saw a lot of people and had a lot of fun. The best part was finishing off the day with fireworks before putting Brode to bed.
The next morning we were up bright and early for Breakfast On The Farm. After a big breafkast of eggs, ham, cheese, hashbrowns, cinnamon rolls, milk and ice cream we walked around the farm:
Brode loved the cow barns. One barn we were forced to look at the backsides of the cows so Brode liked this one more. These cows were eyeing him up!
We walked around and looked at the tractors. This was Brode's favorite as it had "Bucky" on the front.
Lastly we did the bounce toys. Brode loves the bounce houses, but it was very hot from the sun and the bottom was blowing in the wind so he got nervous once he got to the top. Slowly but surely he made his way down.
After a hot day in the sun we came home to get out Brode's new toy:
The Banzai Sidewinder Falls
Brode got this waterpark as a present from Grandma and Grandpa for being brave through surgery and following up by wearing his eye patch every day. We were waiting to give it to him, but 90 degree days couldn't hold us back.
It was easy to set up, but Brode had a hard time waiting for the freezing cold hose water to fill up the pool on the bottom.
The first few times down he didn't like getting sprayed, but it wasn't long until he was screaming "I LOVE IT!"
(Libby loved it too!)
Yes, the weight limit is more than my weight so I tried it. It is AWESOME. Perfect toy for a hot day. We put our towels out at the bottom with the radio and some lemonade and had a fun afternoon.
So outside of the waterpark what have we been doing? Well after a weekend of basketball, parks, fireworks, dancing, breakfast on the farm, waterparks, and mini golf it was going to be hard to top...
.... but I'm pretty sure we topped it this past weekend. Friday after day care we played outside before heading to Madagascar 3! Brode has been SO excited to go and it was a great night to cool down and relax at the movie. He ate a ton of popcorn and laughed hysterically.

After getting home from the movie we patiently waited for the sun set to play with glow toys. We had glow sticks, a glow sand ball, and glow bubbles to play with in the yard amongst the billions of fireflys. Brode laughed harder and jumped higher than I have seen him do in a while. He LOVED the glow sticks. We ran around the yard until we couldn't handle any more mosquitos.
Even after a late night of playing Brode was up and ready for our fun run on Sunday morning. I did the Mom's Run for women's health (and took 2nd, killing my time) and Brode ran the Sprinkle Sprint (1/4 mile fun run). He cheered for me loudly and sprinted and laughed his entire race.
(another bad picture with the phone)
We got goodie bags and shirts, Brode got bubbles at the finish line, and we ended up winning a kite and a big s'mores kit in the prize drawing.
It was a fun morning, but the day wasn't close to over. Look for Catch Up #3 tomorrow to see the rest of our weekend.
