Day 3: Wild Bear Falls

One of the favorites to do was by far- the indoor water park, 

Wild Bear Falls!

They absolutely LOVED this, 

and the grown-ups did too!

The lazy river was a huge hit, and if it were possible, 

we would have worn it out!

Always trying to dodge the flipping water cans!

We were sure to find Nini near the hot tub!

Bear Falls was such a huge hit we found ourselves back here often!

Boys Will Be Boys

While visiting back home for a full week, we caught up on some much-needed time with cousins! The best part was- sitting in the most quiet part of the woods, chatting with my cousins, while the littlest of the cousins played their little hearts out. Talk about no worries in the world, this was it! =)

River, Ruby, Benjamin, Luke & Gavin

New cute little pups...Jack & Cash!

Bubbles...

Pool time...

Bounce time...

And any sport they choose, including a game of soccer! =)

And all the more reasons why I miss 'HOME'! =)

Parade Shindigs

We love our annual hometown parade and carnival, so its not to often that we pass up the opportunity to head home for a whole week of fun with family and some great friends.

The mama's love to sit back, mingle and capture an album of all the cuteness!

The kiddies love nothing more than watching the never-ending procession while anticipating a wild toss of yummy sweet treats!

They love some of the other fun things that go hand-in-hand with parades and carnivals...

You guessed it- silly clowns!

The best part- watching the kiddies scramble for all the candy that is tossed right towards their little feet.

Seeing what each other scored,

Then trading their not-so-fave flavors for their favorite!

Something my little guy looks forward to every year!

Always a big favorite for us, and our little babes!

Followed by a fun night at the towns' annual carnival.
