Adventureland

Sorry- had a little lag there- we have been busy-Ha. So we had a lot of things happening over the weekend. Friday night Mason had an "end of summer" swim party that we all went to. The kids swam and the adults chatted. Gotta love those parties. Of course the night started off in a typical dramatic fashion. Mason jumped off the diving board with his goggles on. Now, there is a reason that divers NEVER wear goggles- you see, when you hit the water, the goggles smash into your nose therefore causing a lovely bloody nose. Yep- first jump in the water and my child has a bloody nose. Yippee. Thankfully he clots quick and was back in the water in a jiffy!

Jayde stayed in the shallow end away from the boys. There were several- probably about 30 11-12 year old boys in all. Of course the public pool is huge in Urbandale and when you have it all to yourselves, there is plenty of room to stretch out! Mason has been into the Olympics so spent his time doing laps (after the diving didn't work out so well) and focused on trying to do the butterfly and the breast stroke. He even had a couple of races going. Too cute. Maybe someday he will beat Michael Phelps' record. HA!

Saturday we went to adventureland with some friends of ours named Dennis and Shawnda and their two boys Spencer and Nate. Spencer is in Mason's class in Urbandale and Nate is 8 years old and goes to Jayde's new school. It was a blast! Denny brought his handy dandy backpack-too funny! He had EVERYTHING in there!

Mason actually rode this ride about 3 or 4 times and LOVED it. Yes-they are upside down!
