Someone is excited about the trip coming up…
In the meantime, we spent some time at SeaLife
While we were at the mall, we hit the Crocs Outlet.
We tried our hand at homemade pretzels so Brendan could make a “Flowey”. (He is excited to play the game “Undertale” with his cousin!
Happy 4th of July!
I took the boys for a bike ride in the evening. There is a group in our neighborhood that launches a pretty spectacular fireworks display right on the canal. I thought the boys would like it, but they DID NOT.
When it is 110 degrees, I am so grateful that we can now spend hours in the pool. And we did… nearly four hours. I have two little fish for boys. I got a chance to play more with my new waterproof camera. I took hundreds of pictures. It was hard to narrow it down to ones I liked best, so I am posting a ton!
We were invited to go to this aquatic center because they installed a “Flowrider” surfing simulator and our friends were eager to try it. Trevor was nervous, but he rode the waves pretty well!
The zero-edge pool with the dumper-buckets was probably the favorite part though.
There was a nice splash pad too
Brendan’s friend Graham waits for the splash
Trevor is leaping off of the springboard in to 13ft deep water with no life jacket. My nerves!! He is doing so well!
He went on the Flowrider again! Twice was enough though. He saw a lot of people wiping out hard and he was a afraid.
Graham’s brother Dan was the one that was eager to check out the Flowrider. He and his friend rode over and over the whole hour they were allowed.
Trevor was back to the buckets where he liked it best
Graham and Trevor
Double dump!
Don’t look up Brendan!

Handstands
Fun with refraction
Brendan demonstrating his backfloat. I made him take the jacket off and show me again.
More handstands
Trevor is not a fan of opening his eyes underwater without goggles. I got him to look once!
Selfie!
Trevor’s face says it all
Floating Trevor
Sarah dared Dan to jump off the high dive, with a prize of an extra 20 minutes of staying up past bedtime. He proceeded to jump about 8 more times..
The sunscreen was wearing off and I had to force the boys out of the pool!
