Water fun!!

The last few weeks we have been taking advantage of some water parks here in our area to try and bear the heat of the summer. Plus we've been trying to enjoy ourselves before M&M has to start school next week (3rd grade!) and then Luke starts kindergarten the following week.

Thanksgiving Point
This was a fun water park at the Children's Garden at Thanksgiving Point. They have a nice little garden area you can walk around and then there is a splash/water area with a big model of Noah's Ark in the middle. Some of the animals in the ark (like the elephant) would spray water every so often. The kids had a lot of fun here. The downside to it is that it costs $5 per adult & $3 per child over age 3 (luckily we went 2 days before Blondie's 3rd birthday so she and Kitty were free).


Herriman Water Park
This is a fun free water park located in Herriman that I just heard about last week. The different fountains turn on and off randomly.













Swim Lessons
M&M & Luke have been taking swim lessons this summer and have really enjoyed it. The lessons are at the new indoor pool in South Jordan. Hopefully they will be able to swim soon so we can go to the pool more often (it's too hard to go with 4 kids that can't swim).





I think Luke's teacher looks a lot like Cherylyn. Cherylyn - do you have a twin you haven't told us about??

Backyard Pool
The kids playing in the inflatable pool we bought this summer. You have to watch out for Blondie though. She's a pretty good shot with those squirt guns!
