End of Summer Fun

Hey there! Crazy that summer is pretty much over! The weather today is especially Fall-like so that makes me both sad and happy at the same time. I love the WEATHER in summer and being able to be outside with the girls but I love the routine of Fall with everything getting started again. The pic above is what we do when Ryan and i want just a couple minutes to talk if we're outside sitting on our patio. We say "Girls - how about you race around the house?" :) So then they all hold hands and run around our whole house giggling. It's so cute to watch...and we love a couple minutes of quiet time! :) :)

Anyways, we've been busy again! :) Last weekend, we got to go along with Grandpa Kim's office party!!!! It was soooo amazing that they take their employees to the Kalahari in the Dells! It's this great indoor/outdoor waterpark/theme park place that totally makes you feel like you're NOT in Wisconsin! The girls were LOVING it! And Ryan and I loved seeing how happy they were! A GREAT family vacation spot if you're ever looking for a place to go that's close by! Emily and Hailey were ALLLLL about the water slides. They surprised us in how they would just go down these huge ones all by themselves. They are getting so big! Addy loved the slides too...but was more of a fan of the smaller ones and only wanted to do it on her terms. I'm bad cuz I usually don't have much sympathy for being afraid of what I KNOW is really fun. So half the time I'd just quick take Addy down a big one with me - even though she was kicking and screaming...in hopes that she'd have a ball and want to do it again all by herself. But nope, it always backfired on me and she would get mad and just want to sit out then. Oh well, I love my Addy girl. :) She had a blast in the wave pool!!! :)

Here's MIss Hailey...

Grandma Kathy LOVES her granddaughters!!! (Hailey, Grandma, Emily)

Lately, I find the girls sneaking up to our room...(and I freak out that they are getting into my make-up again ) but..they've actually been crawling in to our beds to tell each other stories. It is the cutest thing. The stories always start out with "Once upon a time....So..." It's so cute. Hailey is right in the middle of the climax of a story it looks like. :) (AEH)

Being cute sisters :) (Hailey, Addy, Emily)
They LOOOOVEEE riding their bikes. They are now able to ride on the road too (with us walking beside them of course) but they feel so big and adventurous. They are growing up soooo fast! (HEA)
AEH - they are known to "park" by each other like this in the driveway and then talk about who has their seatbelts on...and who needs to stop for gas...and then they all go out and get each other "grass" to put in their gas tanks...and then they just sit and talk. So funny.
