In-N-Out Picnic

This is Daddy and the boys hanging out in the eating area at the In-N-Out picnic. When we were leaving, we saw the big truck and trailer parked outside, so we wanted to get a picture of the boys in front of it (well, I did, anyway!). When we got to the picnic, we went straight to the eating area. It was about 12:30, lunchtime, so we got in line for burgers and then Corey waited while me and the boys found a seat. Caleb and Westley played a candy-pickup game while we were waiting, except they were late in starting, so they only got one piece of candy apiece. The other kids all had brown sacks, but we didn't get them because I didn't notice the game going on until right before the guy said, "go!", so we jumped in and they each grabbed one piece. After we ate (after they finally made me my "double-single" with ketchup and mustard instead, no onions--it took three attempts to get it right!), Corey participated in the associate relays. His store came in second. We watched bits and pieces while we were waiting for him to be done. The rest of the relays, I went to the wave pool with the boys to cool off (It was like 107 degrees outside!).

After Daddy was finally done with the relays, we all went over to the park and went down some of the slides--Daddy with Caleb, me with Westley, and then we switched. We took them over the kiddie part of the park, where the slides are smaller and the water is shallow. They LOVED those slides and went down them over and over. Westley was able to go down those slides completely by himself (thanks to all his swimming lessons!). We went back for the raffle and some ice cream, didn't win anything, and then went back into the wave pool for a little longer. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait for next year. We will probably leave little Eliza behind next year and bring Travis. It was a LOT more fun with two older kids than with such young babies that you can't do anything. By next summer, Westley will probably really be swimming (he's just about there--he can go off the diving board at Grandma and Grandpa's house and swim to the side by himself-no floats or anything), and Caleb will be swimming better, so it will be easier. But it was a lot of fun! And the weather was perfect for a day at the water park!
