Dierkes Lake

We went to Dierkes Lake this last weekend...I've never been there before sadly enough...we had a pretty good time....poor Landon was bummed out because they wouldn't let him go off of the diving board....and he had to play in the "kiddie pool" area which was so boring compared to Bass Lake where he gets to go down the slide and jump off the board out at the dock....oh well...Mackenzee had a blast, as usual when it comes to water. She just can't get enough of the splashing. It's almost exhausting taking her to where there is water now, because she will just jump in and go for it with or without your help. Sigh....

Greta's mommy mistook a pullup for a swim diaper and so by the end of the watery day...Greta was simply "bootylicious" due to the swell of the pullup...it was hilarious..

We went to Dierkes because my sister Mel came to visit for the weekend..one last hurrah before school starts up again. The boys are inseperable, and so much fun to watch...the age difference is drastic enough just yet....Talon is 8, Landon is 6, and Austin is 4...so soon enough the span will be large enough to distance their relationship some....but for now...you couldn't tear them apart even if you tried.

And the girls....a bunch of blondes and a red head....Shelby is so much fun....such a sweet and fun loving spirit...I decided that since Jaysen had Kenzee and Landon was stuck in the kiddie part with the others...I would take to the diving board with Shelby so she wouldn't be alone...I had so much fun...I forgot what it was like to just be silly while you were swimming. For so long now, it's always been about making sure that the children were okay, and what not...but I decided to be a bit selfish and went for it and decided that I need to go swimming without my kids more often....very refreshing....
