Swimming and Birthday Party Part 2

Continuing from the post before this, Saturday we continued our swimming fun. Matt had to work in the morning and was home by 10 am, so we packed our lunches, pool towels, & extra clothing for the day and of course our bathing suites for the day we had planned. We headed to Burdette Park in Evansville. Have you heard of this place?? They have a really nice Aquatic Center, camping groups, and whole lotta fun things to do. We enjoyed our lunch on the tailgate of Matt's truck and soon headed into the Aquatic Center. They had 3/4 different pools, pools for big kids/adults, a pool for the slides, pool for the little kiddies that had lil slides for the tike, and a splash park. We had a blast!!!

Here are some pictures of the girls and Daddy, sorry for the poor quality I was using Matt's camera off of his phone:
Izabelle running in the water...she liked this the best
Grace, Izabelle, and Daddy (the water was about 2 feet here)...this pool started out about a foot of water then gradually got deeper as you walked further. Also notice the slides in the background.

After we finished with this, I wanted to check at Once Upon A Child to see if I could find somethings for Grace and Izabelle. I am the worst on finding anything for Grace in that store, but Saturday I found several Gymboree outfits for under $10...They looked brand new. AWESOME!!! Then Daddy took us to Chic-Fil-A for some supper, then we headed home.
Sunday, we had to attend another birthday party for another sweet lil gal. Matt's neice turned 2 on Monday, so Greta and Rob had a birthday party for Brynnlee on Sunday night. It was a BLAST. Grace and Izabelle really enjoyed themselves, well Mom and Dad did too. I didn't get any good pictures of that celebration. The girls were exhausted by time we got home, but that didn't stop them from helping Matt shuck corn, in preparation for Monday morning. Patty came over to help cook and bag the corn for winter.
Then we headed to the park to meet up with Greta and B for some swinging, sliding, smacking, and screaming, our favorite Ss'. B and Iz fight like they are sisters or something, one time Izabelle was headed up the steps and B smacked her lil booty. I couldn't help but laugh. Hey it was right there in front of her, anyone of us would have done the same, right??? Izabelle ended up getting back at her later with a lil pinch. That reminds me, anyone have any tips on stopping Miss Izabelle from pinching, she has been starting that lately.
Until Next Time.
God Bless

I have heard of Burdette park...never been...but it looks like fun and not even crowded!! Yeah! You should be getting a pretty good tan with all this swimming the past week or two. And it does sound like B and Iz are sisters...the stories are pretty funny!

i've heard burdette park is really nice! was it very crowded?

Chelsa- It wasn't that crowded in the pools at all, but there were chairs everywhere, but I think that is because they didn't have much room for them, so it looked alot more crowded. We are thinking about camping out there sometime, because their campgrounds are right up the hill.
