End of Summer Fun

The last bit of the summer we've gotten to do some fun stuff. One thing I've been wanting to do for a long time, but just never got around to it was the Smyrna water park. There are water fountains and water guns for kids to run around in. We decided to take Jack there because he loves water and we all had a lot of fun. He didn't run around much, but found one fountain he liked and pretty much stayed there the whole time.

Jack loves to play in the pool and we can't always make it over to the big swimming pools, so sometimes the small one in the back has to work. Either way I think as long as he's in the water then he's fine. I think we were out there for about an hour and he probably could've been there all day.

The Nashville Sounds in the local minor league baseball team and we've never gotten to see them play until a couple of weeks ago. Nikki got some free tickets and invited us to go. How can you turn down a baseball game?! And we were in about the 5th row on the first base line. We were so close to everything. We left in only the 4th inning because Jack was getting tired and it was already past his bedtime. It would've been nice to see the whole game, but that's ok. It was still a fun evening.

Jack loves to get Ethan and Cody's toys and play with them like a "big boy".

Doesn't he look like such a boy! He doesn't have that baby face anymore

He also likes to steal my phone and push all the buttons. He's gonna be a texting machine when he's older.

We went to the Discovery Center here in Murfreesboro last week. I had never been but I wish I would've gone more. It was so fun! There's so much for little kids to do and touch. There's a kitchen, grocery store, music room, post office, and a whole bunch of mats for the kids to crawl around on.

Here in the grocery store Jack was having fun pushing all the buttons on the cash register and putting all the food in the basket.

There was tic-tac-toe where you could velcro the shapes onto the wall. We didn't actually end up playing the game, but sticking everything on the wall was good enough.

The drums and guitar and little bead shakers were really fun for him to play beautiful music on ;)

One thing Jack loves to help me with at home is doing the laundry. So this was his chance to do it all by himself!

The room with all of the mats was so cool. Jack was being so goofy on this little slide. He really wanted to go down it, but kept sticking his feet out funny.

The big fire truck was neat. I think he enjoyed being able to sit in there and "drive".

This summer has been pretty fun with all the different activities we've been able to do. I can't believe it's already September though. Next thing we know it will be Christmas!

Here are a few videos that go with all the pictures. The first video is from the Smyrna water park. The second is of Jack cheering. We were watching the little league world series on tv and we were cheering when one of the teams scored. Jack was acting goofy and was imitating us cheering. Such a silly boy. The third video is of Jack trying to go down the slide at the Discovery Center. It's pretty funny.
