Fun in the Sun

We had an awesome weekend! Although a horrible heat wave has been passing through it just meant all the more reason to go to the beach and the pool. Ian had to go into work for a few hours on Saturday then shortly after he got home we headed to Chrissy's House. It was her daughter's (Kailey) 6th Birthday Beach Party. We headed to Buckroe Beach which was very kid friendly, it had little to no waves and not overly crowded. The kids had a blast playing in the water and the sand. We had a yummy picnic and made sure the kids were worn out. Later that evening we had a Parent's Night Out courtesy via the YMCA that we go to regularly. It was a good deal, 3 hours for 6 dollars and you know your kids will be safe and entertained. We had Sushi for dinner (yum-o) and went to the mall to exchange a few things. Overall nothing too exciting for our 3 hours of freedom but nonetheless it was nice. Isabella was really tired and ready for bed so I'd say it was a very successful day.

Sunday after sleeping in for a bit, well except for Isabella she was up at 6:30 which means Mom was too. We had lunch and headed to Gator Pool. It's this little water park on one of the local Naval Bases here in Hampton Roads. Isabella has been alot more confident in the water since starting her swim lessons a few months ago. We're currently on a month break from swim lessons but plan on starting up again in July. They have a gated area for the kiddie pool and a bunch of varying slides. A few that are kid friendly and that Isabella enjoyed. She really loved going down the slides, especially after she grew more confident going down them. I'm sure we'll be there a few times this summer. Now we're vegging out at home waiting for my yummy pot roast to finish in the crock pot. Then I'm off to see Sex in the City with one of my bff's Chrissy! I can not wait!!
