Water Play Country Style

We recently visited my mom and dad. We stopped at a Walmart about 30 miles from their house because I forgot to pack the kids' toothbrushes. As soon as we got out of the car Wesley asked, "Are we in the country?"

Wesley loves to go for walks up and down my parents' long driveway.
Here is a picture of Lydia navigating the cattle guard. Josiah also did a little walking outside. In this picture he was taking a break.
The kids played with this big beach ball sprinkler. Notice the look of pure joy on Lydia's face.

Josiah thought it was one big water fountain.

Josiah didn't really want to be held. He wanted in on the action.

The Slipe N Slide was fun!

Uh oh, someone didn't wait her turn.

Josiah crawled up and down the soapy slide.

Saturday night we went out to eat in Mt. Airy, NC. I was so excited to see this little snow cone hut. I keep seeing pictures of snow cone places on facebook and blogs, but I don't think there is one inside the beltway.

Of course, Wesley and Lydia chose to drink most of the syrup with a draw rather than eating the ice.

On Sunday we visited Chris' aunt and uncle. Here is Josiah with Aunt Ieda.

Uncle Mike.

It was quick visit but we all had a good time in the country.
