The Real Birthday Day for Hayesie Bud











Since today was Hayes's real birthday we decided it would be fun to take him to Geyser Falls Water Park in Choctaw, MS, for the day. I was a bit worried that he and Caroline would be worn out before we got there but they did great. We ended up getting there right as the park opened and were able to score three chairs in a row that were under a canopy and boy were we glad we had those!


We went with our friends the Balls & the Lees, but we were all chasing kids that it really felt like we didn't see much of anyone but whichever kid we were chasing. They had a great kids area that had a lifeguard at the end of every slide and Caroline & Hayes would go up and down these slides with no help. We had both of them wear life jackets just in case they got out of arms reach and it just made us feel better. Neither kid argued, so our day was happy. (in these pics we had just taken Caroline's jacket off as we were getting ready to eat lunch) And yes, that is Hayes going down the slide, head first...my child with NO FEAR---which scares me to death (but he has a great time and is always fine....Troy says I have got to relax..hahahha).
They also had a larger slide area that we went to later in the day that we weren't so sure about. The slides were really high and fast so we didn't really want to put the kids on them. We decided to give it a try and boy are we glad we did. They both LOVED it. We headed over to this area with The Ball family and Manze loved the slides as well. The kids kept wanting to go down the slides over and over again----they totally wore all of the adults out!

We were there from 10:30 until 4:00 and Hayes fell asleep before we were out of the parking lot. He had a great day playing in the water and Caroline had so much fun going down all of the slides......we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.



It was so sunny on Hayes's side of the car that he wanted to wear Troy's sunglasses. Once he fell back asleep we rigged the car and put a towel in the window as to block the sun. I am sure we looked super cool but we couldn't let the sun bother our sleeping babies. We love sleeping babies!

Brittany, he is getting SO big!!! In just 2 months he's gotten to be such a little man. OH, and your post about your car...I thought that was a pic of my car. "How did Brittany get a picture of my car??" So yes, I feel you and I have the SAME problem! But you know what, it just means we're busy having too much fun to care :)
