Sunsplash

It's Outdoor Wednesday and Susan of http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ is hosting it so be sure you swing over her blog to see her and her other participants' outdoor posts. It's a fun event for sure.


I am in Florida visiting my kids right now. It so happened that my nephew in law drove from Chicago and took her 3 children as well. So, we, together with my daughter and her family, all drove to Cape Coral to visit my youngest daughter and her family.


While the big guys and my older daughter went fishing, I and my youngest took all 5 kids to Sun Splash Water Park.

There they are! Brendan, my grandson was so funny. As soon as he heard we were going to Sun Splash and the pool, he got his swimming trunks, took off his top and asked me to put his trunks on. Then, he kept saying "swimming pool" , "swimming pool", and kept crying until we placed him in his car seat. He just could not wait. I stayed with Brendan while my daughter took the bigger kids around the water slides. This little guy really had a lot of fun! Then, they all came back to get us to go on the lazy river. Omigosh! I am getting so dark!
The whole gang minus me since I was the photographer.
AJ and her little cousin.

Brendan even tried the water slide for the first time, with much hesitation. I had to get ready to catch him when he got down so I did not want to take another picture.
We were getting hungry so we decided to get home. We all had a great time! What a fun place to spend under a hot Florida sunshine.
Thanks Susan, for another fun outdoor event. And thank you all for coming by!

  7. Oh, Christine, you always know how to have fun!! The smile on your face in the water is as big as the kid's!! lol!! Your grandson Brendan is just so lovable and cute as a button. All of your grandkids are cute, they must get that from a certain grandmother!!

    So glad you are having fun in Florida with your family and how nice that the Chicagoan's came down to visit too!

    I may have missed some posts, so I will scroll down and comment. How nice that you are keeping up on the blogging while you are away...I would have missed you, my friend! :-)

  9. Christine,

    I thought maybe I had missed one or two of your recent posts, but as I scrolled down, I had missed so many. I am not sure why. I thought first it was because I am up at the lake and don't blog as much there and sometimes can't get a signal (we are getting comcast, thank goodness). I also thought that maybe because I have been paticipating in so many events that I was missing things on my blogroll when visiting other participants, but it seems impossible that I could miss so many of your posts. I sincerely apologize as it must have made you wonder where I was!!

    I am going to check the blogs I follow to make sure there has not been a problem with you, and anyone else for that matter, not showing up on my blogroll.

    I hope you understand. I left comments on all of your interesting posts. You have been a busy girl!!

    Much love,

    xoxo

  10. Christine,

    This is like texting!! I did read about your mothers party and the reunion and it sounded like an absolute blast. How thoughtful of your family to honor her that way.

    I have left comments on all of your posts. They were great and much fun reading!!

    xoxo

  25. Christine, you did such a great job of capturing Brendan's excitement. I am just grining from ear to ear after looking at those precious photos of him splashing around with a huge grin on his face. I thought his mom was the photographer in the family, but looks to me like she inherited that talent from her mom. Great photos. laurie
