Soaking up the last days of summer! (and our mermaid siting)

We made a moat and then banished our kids to the island!

Starting the moat

 Dipping her head in the water

 Her swim bottoms will not stay on, her butt is just too little

 Chloe dumping water on her head

I'm so glad that she is not afraid to be in the water anymore!

 Building up the dam on the moat

 Mason loading up dirt to help with the dam

 Cody and Gavin swam over to the slide and Gavin went down the slide over and over and over and over again. He loves it.

And now for the mermaid siting!!!

 See her? Right in front of Gavin and Cody

 There she goes into the water

 A close up

She even went down the slide

 This is what happens when naps get skipped

 We let the boys play on the playground before we left

 Watch out, crazy driver!

We decided at the last minute to go to the Drive In so it was a mad dash to get the van "drive in ready", grab some snacks and drinks and then get there. Luckily it wasn't very busy so we still ended up with a pretty good spot and the Chase's were there and we were able to park by them. 

This sums it up - My kind of Perfect. 

Mason playing with the seatbelt

Chloe cheesing it but not looking at the camera

Gavin smiling with his toothless smile

and an extra kid, Thatcher.

He jumped in our van to play with Gavin while we waited for the movies to start.

We watched Planes and Grown Ups 2
