Okay. So now they love the splash pads?

As you already know from my blog, the Splash Pads are a common destination for us over the summer.  The kids always have a great time but are mostly attracted to the surrounding trees, rocks, stores, etc.; only slightly amused by the splash pads.

Yesterday was a different story though and I couldn't get them out of the water!  They acted as if it was a first time adventure and soaked it up...literally.  I was pleasantly surprised, trying to take as many pictures as I could.  Not the best timing for an end of summer discovery.

Oh!  And I must mention, how it felt like the first time at an activity I truly was able to sit and let them play.  I didn't of course.  I was right there playing with them in the water but I if I wanted to, I could of.

It's happening.  They are becoming more independent every day and capable.  Warner's walking, Avery's listening and it feels like for the first time in 32 months, I am dealing with two little people rather than babies.  I'm really, really liking the toddler stage and bittersweetly saying goodbye to the baby stage.  I'm not sure what I expected?  To always be changing diapers and taking objects out of their mouth?  No.  But we are definitely at a transition which I LOVE; looking forward to the next chapter of adventures! :)

My littles-es...evolving over night!

Did someone say ice cream??
