Good times at Camp Lester

The kids and I have been having some fun lately. Our neighbors have a trampoline in their backyard. We were planning on getting one when we got here, but we don't need to now. Rob snapped a bunch of shots with me jumping with the kids. They love it anytime an adult get in with them.


Today we went to a water park that is literally 3 minutes from our house in American Village. It had a toddler pool and 2 water slides. It also had a very fast moving lazy river. Issy, Noah and I loved the water slides. Ben would just wait for us at the bottom. The lazy river was a blast, but would have been better if Isabella wasn't giving me a choker hold the entire time. She is so crazy in the water. She wants me to let go of her and loves to get her head dunked. If we are in a toddler pool, she spends the whole time trying to swim with her face under the water. I'm sure she'll be swimming on her own by next summer. It's been fun seeing Noah learn to swim by himself. He seems to get stronger and stronger every time we go to the pool. He only used his lifejacket once today...just so he could float in the lazy river for a second. Ben does fine, but is more timid than his siblings. He certainly doesn't like the waterslide, which I forced him to go on once. Sorry for all the details...I want Rob to be able to look online and read about what we are doing (if he gets to a computer by some miracle).

Everyone was supposed to take their shoes off before going into the locker room. People do this before going into a dressing room at a clothing store too.

A funny little fact about Ben...he loves folding the laundry lately. He's actually a big help too! Today on the way home from the water park he actually asked if we could fold laundry. So we did. I don't know where he gets it from because neither Rob nor I like to.
