roaring springs!

yesterday was the day the kids look forward to all year

we went to roaring springs!

it was my first time (as well as henry and eleanor's)

in the past i've stayed home with them but eleanor was so excited to go this year

michael took the big kids the day she got her tonsils out last year

so she really missed out but this year she and henry are older and it was a lot of fun

the kids earn passes there from school for reading so the three big kids were free

 i was about to take everyone's picture 

but michael asked someone to take it for us so we could all be in it, yay!

 we lasted almost five hours in the 100 degree weather

i mostly hung out with the little kids in the kiddie area while michael took the big kids on water slides

it was perfect

we were all hot and thirsty so we stopped at brodie's for shaved ice on the way home

 then we grabbed pizza and watched kung fu panda 3 in our jammies when we got home

it was a really fun day

the kids loved it
