Splashers!

Giles got home from work Friday afternoon last week and decided that we really needed to get out and do something!  So we packed up the kids and crossed to border to Grand Forks to the water park at the Canad Inns there.  The water was a little on the cool side so it took awhile for Xander to warm up (literally) to the whole thing, but once comfortable he really didn't want to leave!  Also this gave us another chance to feature Avery in her little swimsuit!  

We discovered that to prop Avery up in her car seat, she'll sit there quite happily for a long time....this is also when Avery discovered that she could suck on her toes!  Our little yoga master!   Yet, observe the number of arm rolls displayed here!

These unpredictable jets of water were quite entertaining!  Even as Xander is looking over my shoulder right now he's asking to go back to the swimming pool!  

This started with Giles trying to teach Xander how to blow bubbles in the water.  He could sort of do it, but discovered greater satisfaction in just splashing Daddy with water!  Like Father, like son!

Avery and her baby blues, happily playing with her soother!  

Xander didn't really warm up to the water slides or anything like that, but loved the feel of walking through the water with his hands dragging!  He looked a little like some jungle animal ready to pounce...especially with his semi-evil laugh he's developed!  I should really try and get a video of it...something for the future!
