But now it seems everyone's "little ones" are getting older, and we've all met lots of new friends with kiddos so Melissa made the effort to get a playgroup going again...there's lots of mommies and kiddos, and we've had a great time at every playgroup! It's great getting together with other moms and letting the kids play together...of course, we can't all make it each week but we have enough poeple in our group that at least a couple of moms can show up each week.
And since it has been an unbelievably hot summer we've been trying to "beat the heat" by going to some indoor play places and hanging out in the water. Here's a few (or possibly more than a few) pictures from some recent places we've visited!
The Party Station - Indoor playplace about 15 minutes from home that was the perfect size for me to be able to keep a watchful eye on both my kids without having to run around like a madaman!
Tristan playing with Barbie...or was he just decapitating her??
Parker was quite interested in Barbie too
Kinsley is a fan of Barbies too
Tristan and Kins
Girl talk - Emma and Kins
Little Miss Emma
Tristan and Kaeson...always playing in a kitchen when available!
Parker "drinking"
Climbing the slide, cup still in hand
Tristan and Kins about to race
The winner: Kins!!!
Aawwww, Baby Parker looks almost as big as Emma...she's so dainty and girly, just love it!
Baby Kolby's standing up!
Tristan and Parker about to race...Parker loved this toy as much as Tristan
Winner: Parker! Poor Tristan just couldn't catch a break....maybe he was slower since he weighed more than his opponents did!
About to go down the slide
Kaeson laughing it up!
This was supposed to be a picture of Parker looking through the opening but Tristan pushed his way up to the front just in time, love it anyhow!
Aahhh, here's the picture I was going for!
The Jumping Gym - Indoor play place that has all inflatable jump castles and is seriosuly like 3 minutes from the house
Tristan sliding out of the jump castle
Parker and Tristan playing a little b-ball
Tristan and his buddy, Kaeson
Tristan and Abby throwing the balls at the wall...see the two yellow balls in mis air??
Parker decided to get in on the action too!
Kaeson, Emma and Tristan taking a break for a little muffin snack
Tristan even smiles for the camera when he has a mouth full of food!
Kinsley...so pretty, look at those eyes!!!!
Tristan being silly in the baby ball pit

Kaeson and Kins "riding"
Landa Park Pool - This local pool is a little more than 5 minutes away and has a huge Olympic pool, a gigantic Spring Fed pool with kiddie area and great little zero depth pool, where we hung out the whole time. It's obviously no Schlitterbahn, but so much easier to keep control of the kids!
Tristan heading down the slide
Splash!
Parker cruising around in his floatie...since the pool was pretty shallow on this end, he could basically walk around in his floatie and go wherever he wanted, and if he got into too deep of water he'd float!!!
Miss Abby
Tristan kicking the spurting water, and Elliot in the background sporting his goggles!
Parker loved the slide too
He'd climb straight out of the pool
Head up the steps
And start to head down, face first...I'd have to pick him up and help him go down on his bottom!
Kinsley, Abby, Tristan and Landon after 2 hours of swimming and snacks...looking pretty spiffy!
