"Spray-Ground" Fun!

Okay...here we go....the first of many updates from August... (Yes...I'm very aware that is November! We've been so busy making memories, I haven't had time to record them!)

For our last playdate of the summer with Mitch's 3-year Pre-K classmates, we went to a "sprayground". Amazing what you find that you didn't even know you had! It was a great little park downtown that had lots of different little sprinklers and water features...and the kids loved it! It was such fun to watch them all just being kids...so carefree and loud and rowdy! :)

It was a little bitter-sweet, though...We learned that Mitch's best friend from school, Tyner, would be moving to Mississippi in just a couple of weeks. For any of you reading this that don't know...Mitch LOVES Tyner! They were completely inseparable at school, and any time the two of them got together. It is just so sweet to watch! So, we made sure to get some great pictures!

Here are some of Mitch and Jake playing in the sprinklers...

When we got through playing, we told the kids that it would be Tyner's last playdate with us because he was moving. This what we saw immediately after...no prompting, I promise!

This took some prompting...Judah, Tyner, Mitch, and Ella A....They were the four that were able to come to this playdate...we were missing Parker, Ella O. and Lilly.

Oh...and this one....took A LOT of prompting! Amazing enough, Mitch and all of his friends above have sibling within about a year of each other, so they had a ready-made playgroup, too! Here are Jake, Shiloh (Judah's sister), Noah (Ella A's brother), and Maggie (Tyner's sister).
