The Freemans

My mom found this great splash park for young kids to play in the water. Wish we would have discovered it sooner in the summer. We'll definitely be going here a lot next summer!
Jack had a blast. He learned to put his foot over the sprouts coming straight up - he had a lot fun with those. He still didn't like the tunnel of spray water - only went through it once with the help from a friendly kid. He also loved watching the kids get dunked by the pails of water, but he knew he didn't want to do that!
They also had a nice shaded sand area - of course he had a lot of fun there.

We had another fun day at Ceco with Kevin, Diana and the kids. Unfortunately Andrew wasn't able to be there again, but he was in California visiting family - so I believe we have no argue there!
The weather was a lot nicer this time around and the water was a lot warmer. Jack really enjoyed this time around. I think he had more fun in the sand than the water though!

Here we are starting the morning off. He never wears his Cubs hat indoors, so I had to get a pic!


Getting use to the water.


Daddy playing with Jack - he really liked this.



Getting a rinse down from Grandma Kathy.



I'm KING of the Sand!

Here are some pics of Andrew and Jack having fun on the deck. Of course Jack was able to get Andrew to fall into the pool! He enjoyed that very much!

This past weekend we celebrated Jared's 30th birthday party. We worried at first with the weather, but ended up being a great late afternoon and evening.
We held the party in our backyard with the new deck (pics to come soon) that Jared built with the help from his good friend Joe.

Overall - the party was a success! And I want to say many THANKS to everyone who helped out that day. I would not have been able to do it without you - Love you much XOXO!

Here are some great pics from that day - Jared had a blast!

Andrew gave Jared his present that him and Grandma picked out. Jared was shocked when I told him we can hang it in the living room.

And nothing like finishing the night with a glass of Don Julio Tequila!


HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE - I LOVE YOU!!!!!
