Weekend Wrap Up

We had a busy week. We played outside a lot. I've been trying to practice writing letters with Soph. After trying to write her name she wanted a picture of herself next to our artwork:

 We went to the park with her cousins:

 This might be one of the only pictures I have of Maya on Soph's lap and they're both happy:

 They love each other so much:

 

 Soph loves popsicles after playing outside:

 We went to a restaurant called "Buns" and Soph got a hamburger. She decided she didn't want the bun lol:

 Soph likes to line up all the couch cushions and put her babies on them and she covers them  up. She says they're taking naps like she does at school.

 Soph loves her firefighter hat like Zac:

 Playing in her sprinkler before it broke 2 mins later:

 Spraying Maya with the hose:

 Then she dumped water on El's head lol:

 Water balloons:

Daddy/Daughter Day

With Elliott's new schedule Soph only goes to school three days a week and stays at home with him two days (Wednesday and Thursdays). Last week he took her to Cosi.

 

Making an ice cream sundae:

 The next Barbara Walters? Haha!

 Cowgirl:

 Walking around downtown:

 Trying to lift the 2,437 pound car:

Alum Creek Beach

Another thing on our Summer Bucket List is to visit Alum Creek Beach. I'm sure we'll be there a lot this Summer. We took Soph last Saturday and she loved playing in the sand. She also got in the water acouple times.

 Building a sand castle with daddy:

 They typically have acouple food trucks and an ice cream truck so we had to get Soph some ice cream. She loved it and was a sticky mess afterwards.

Kings Island

Last Wednesday I took off work and it was El's day off so we took Soph to Kings Island. She loved it! She loved riding the rides, eating ice cream and meeting the characters. When we left she said "I had fun" multiple times. :) The park wasn't busy at all so Soph could ride all the rides multiple times. Sometimes she was the only kid on the ride. It was perfect. Since Kings Island's kid's area is all Peanuts El had the good idea of letting her bring her Snoopy stuffed animal. Good thing because she carried hers around everywhere and had we not brought hers she would have wanted one from the gift store so we saved at least $20 bucks! :)

 

Swings:

 Franklin:

 Soph even liked the small roller coaster:

 Linds met up with us for acouple hours. Soph loved riding rides with her.

 Linds and Soph:

I couldn't believe Soph rode this one. It went up pretty high and dropped kind of fast.

 

 

 I remember as a child going to Americana and riding cars similar to the ones below. I loved that ride and so did Soph.

 El, Soph and Linds playing a game.

 El and Soph taking a selfie on a ride:

 Lucy loved Soph's Snoopy and wanted to hold it for their picture:

 It started to get hot in the afternoon so we went to the water park.

 Then we got some blue ice cream:

 Soph and I on the roller coaster with our arms up:

 Bumper cars:

Such a fun day! We can't wait to go back.

Splash Pad

I made a Summer bucket list for us and one of the things on the list is to visit a splash pad. I'm sure we'll be going to the splash pad multiple times this summer. Last Tuesday after Soph's gymnastics we took her to the splash pad in Powell and met up with the Beaty's.

 

Soph wasn't too sure about the water:

 Running around:

 Soph and Jax:

 Soph has really been watching Addie a lot lately and wanting to do whatever she does. She saw Addie standing by the park and had to stand next to her:

 Then Addie laid out her towel so Soph had to lay out hers:

 All three kiddos:
