Saturday we played most of the day at home and then we went to the YMCA for Family Fun night. It was, AWESOME!. We found out that Josh is a complete daredevil. He doesn't require us to be there to catch him anymore in the ball pit... he just jumps. And we took him on the trampoline that ends near the ball pit and he gladly jumped right in... the fall the the ball pit is at least 4 feet. No fear. He just says, "1, 2, 3, AWESOME" and jumps. Hilarious. The kids played in the gym and on the jumpy blowup gyms... and they passed out on the ride home. It was great.
Sunday we decided that the best thing to do when you are faced with a severe winter storm is to drive 90 miles to Sheboygan to get to a waterpark. Not awesome. It took us 3 hours to get there, white knuckle the entire way. But we got there. And the waterpark was AWESOME. The kids had a riot... and we did too. We went straight to the waterpark that night... spent the night and went right away in the morning. Josh was a big fan of the yellow adult tube slide. He rode in front with either Jim and I and loved it. They had a little kid slide area where Izzy and Josh had the most fun. It was quite a workout for us adults!
We then attempted nap time. Which was hilarious. Josh and Izzy each had their own pack'n'play which we separated with blankets. Neither of them realized eachother were there at first. We attempted to lay down on the other side of the half wall to catch a few zzzzz's... and then we heard Izzy... "Mama... Mama...". Then Josh, "Izzy??". It was all over. We spent the next 15 minutes peering over the wall at the two of them playing peek a boo... swapping pacifiers... and blankets... Then Abby said, "Isabelle, sshh." Then Izzy and Josh took a few turns "sssshhhing" eachother. Memories I hope we will never forget!
We had one more round at the waterpark before the Kirkwood's went back home. It was a great weekend... a lot of action... a lot of memories!

The picture of Josh and Izzy reading books is hilarious! Josh looks like an old man reading the newspaper!
