I bought a groupon to use during the summer to take the kids swimming but we never got around to going. The summer was so busy with so many activities and I wanted to have Mark with me to help watch all the kids. It would scare me to death to take 4 kids to a water park all by myself! We finally were able to go on Labor Day. Luckily it was hot and good weather so we could enjoy the water and sun. The kids really loved going down the big slide with me. Chad had fun splashing in the water and getting wet. We had a lot of fun playing together as a family. After swimming the kids wanted to get pizza and have root beer floats for dinner. So that is exactly what we did and it was yummy! I wish we had more time to do these kind of things more often. Making fun memories together is what I want for our children. Kids grow up too fast and childhood is gone before you know it!
