On Saturday morning we packed up the kids and headed over to Wild Mountain Water Park outside of Taylors Falls. They had a blast! The kids got to go down the water slides with us, then we had a picnic lunch, and finally we headed over to the kiddie splash park. Below is a short clip of Myles getting splashed with water. He thought it was a blast!
After we got home, the kids and I washed my car. Then they ran around the yard and played. Holly was totally obsessed with the hose and spraying water on the driveway and the grass. She had so much fun! I had to keep putting sun screen on the kids, but failed to put any on me. As a result, I got a minor sunburn on my shoulders. Ouch!
Myles decided to build some contraption - not really sure what it was, but it kept him busy for quite some time (while Holly played with the water hose).
Sunday we hung out, did yard work, and met my parents for lunch at a Mexican place. It was great!
Now, on to the bad part of Memorial weekend................... As you can see, Holly is not in her bed at home, but rather in a hospital bed. In the ER. In the middle of the night on Sunday night. Ugh. She quickly came down with Croup at 12:30 am, and wasn't looking/sounding so good. So I took her to the local hospital ER to have them check her out. She got a nebulizer treatment, a shot, and then we had to hang out there for 2 hours. Sigh. I was so tired, but glad that they were able to help her feel better. So we got home about 3:30 am, and headed back to bed. Holly was fine the next day but we all were a bit tired.
On Memorial Monday, we played outside almost all day! In the afternoon, we had the neighbors over for grilling. The kids played in the backyard with some more neighborhood kids, and they ran through the pool and sprinkler that I set up. They had a blast! We were calling it our back yard water park. Grilling was yummy, and we all over ate. Oh well.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 3 day weekend over Memorial weekend!
