Summer Fun

Even with a newborn baby sister, we've been having some fun this summer. A couple of weeks ago, we went to Silver Dollar City with some friends. Sarah Kate got off to an interesting start by having a huge blow-out poopy diaper right at the front entrance of the park. I put on her only extra outfit for the day and hoped for the best. Fortunately, she did fine after that and slept most of the time we were there.

Our fun plans were thwarted somewhat by the 30% chance of scattered storms that turned into a 2 1/2 hour torrential downpour and thunderstorm. After hanging out on the front porch of the cooking school for 2 hours, we decided to send Noel for ponchos. The kids thought they were great! After I'd put on my huge yellow poncho, Christopher looked at me and said, "Mommy, you look so beautiful in your yellow poncho!" A bench full of women nearby thought he was so sweet--and he is!

The silly kids eating lunch while we waited for the rain to stop:

We've also been to the pool in our neighborhood a couple of times. Here's some photos from our first trip to the pool for this summer:
