Fun & Sun with the Walkers...

Yesterday (Monday) we had a fun day as my sister Tammy & her family came to visit us & we went to our local splash park for the afternoon. I bought a bunch of fruit/dip, cheese/crackers, water, etc... for a simple snaky picnic type afternoon & gee... it is about time the fruit was in season!! It was so yummy!!

Baby Izzy is so darn cute & just sleeps like an angel & Dakota loved to eat the strawberries whole... stems & all!! He loved the cream cheese dip the best! :) Josh always knows how to win every kids heart... XBOX games, toys, money... (all those things that their parents deprive them of!!)

I had to laugh cause almost as soon as we unpacked & just kick back, my sister dares Garrett to go lay under these baskets that just dump cold water to the ground... if he would do it she would pay him $5... I said, yeah you are safe - he won't do it - the water is too cold!!

Well Tyler of course shot to the chance to earn some $$ - so it took him a few minutes - but all of a sudden he was out there laying under the water to smash all over him & also to show Garrett up (Tam will have to send me a pic... as he was to fast for me)... eventually Garrett did it too - so he made me look pretty bad - so Tam was going to go broke!!! (All my fault!) Well as Uncle Josh starts whipping out the bills, of course Madison wants to earn some money... so she definitely agrees that she can run through the frog - without even being asked or dared... well Brady taking to this idea of earning some money quick & easy gives it his all & gets as close to the splash park as he ever has!! (Then with a little help from Tammy he did run all the way through the frog a time or 2!) Thanks JOSH & TAMMY!! Now you know to never dare my kids to do anything especially if it includes $$$...

The kids had a blast playing with Uncle Josh in the water & shooting the balls in the "Baskets"... then laying around in the sun drying off.

Here is Dakota & Madi playing around as "bull fighters"!! :)Then we came home & let the kids play while we visited. Then we had dinner & dessert before they had to head back home!! We had a really good time (Especially since I am dreading starting back to work in less than 6 hours now!!)

But I did get a lot done & organized today - so I am happy about that! Watch out as the troops show up tomorrow!!
