Lawrenceville Lawn

A little more than a week after our light snow, it was warm enough to stop at the playground after co-op. The kids often want to stop at Lawrenceville Lawn on our way home, but circumstances don't always allow for it. We took advantage of the pretty weather though and enjoyed a little time at the park. 

All the kids love the merry-go-round! Especially standing up on it!

Clayton is always climbing to the top of different structures.

The moon was clearly visible in the beautiful blue sky.

Shelby just chillin'.

Park Hopping: Lawrenceville Lawn

On June 29th, as one of our park hopping trips, Bethany and I took the kids to Lawrenceville Lawn. Even though we went earlier in the morning, it was quite hot as the playground is not shaded. The kids still had a great time though!

The whole crowd...

...getting wet!

Bethany re-enacting getting my keys out of the water. I had thrown my keychain over my shoulder and when I bent over near the fountain, it fell in. Sadly it was a partially damaged keyless entry, that was fully damaged after it's contact with the water! 

365 in 2015 - End of Week 24

This week was a busy one! I managed to take pictures every day except Sunday (which is a perpetual problem). I also started back with my kettle bells, after a long break. Hoping to keep up with a routine again!

We went to the zoo on Monday with Bethany. The kids enjoyed having their ride wristbands so they can ride everything as many times as they like! They also played in the splash pad because it was a hot day! 

After the zoo I stopped by Ikea to pick up a couple things. The kids absolutely love the travelator! Paige and Shelby rode down in a cart this time. 

On Tuesday we went to a friend's neighborhood pool. The kids enjoyed going down the slide!

Some new decorations I put up in the house. These are actually cards, but I hung them up since they all have Bible verses on them. They are from Hope Ink! 

Paige tracing Shelby with chalk in the cul-de-sac!

Movie on the (Lawrenceville) Lawn

My kids (and I) really enjoyed Big Hero 6. So when Lawrenceville Lawn announced that as their movie on the lawn for June, we decided to go. We picked up a pizza and headed there early to play and have our choice of seat. The kids had a blast playing on the playground, while waiting for the movie. At one point it started to rain, but it stopped in less than five minutes and everything cleared up. Jon joined us for a little bit, but was really tired, so he decided to go home early.

I was sitting on the merry-go-round with Shelby, so I thought it was funny that I got her with three different backgrounds!

Cheyenne on whatever this spinny thing is called. 

The pretty clouds and sun!

Shelby on the spiderweb climb.

Shelby being silly.

Paige actually sat still for a minute for me!

This picture just amuses me!

Cheyenne made a friend.

Park Hopping: Zoo Atlanta (June)

Our second park adventure for June was going to Zoo Atlanta. Our families have memberships to the zoo and so we try to go once a month. This month was our sixth which was a big deal because we have passport to adventure memberships and the kids get prizes for coming monthly. Once you get to six stamps everyone gets a rides wristband for their ride section. Since this was the first time in six months they've gotten to do those things, they were very excited! I took the older kids to figure out zoo's clues first, then we just hung out at the rides and splash pad.

Cheyenne and Keira on the merry-go-round which was our first stop.

Then we all headed to the train!

Then we headed to the splash pad! Paige loved standing over the fountain.

Clayton kept trying to chop the water.

Cheyenne loved splashing herself and anyone else with the water!

And loved when the fountains shot up high!

Shelby enjoyed standing on top of the water even when it came back on and splashed around her feet.

After the splash pad, we dried off and headed to the climbing wall. This is a favorite to do at the zoo.

Clayton made it to the top twice!

Shelby was too small to go rock climbing, so she went to the canopy climber instead and had fun climbing up that and going down the big slide!

Cheyenne enjoyed climbing as well, but only wanted to go about halfway up.

This was Paige's first time being big enough to climb. She was excited to try and made it over halfway up the wall!

Sweet little Mercy playing near the fence while everyone else was busy!
