Water Park!

As an treat, we surprised the kids and took them to a water park just a few days after Memorial Day. Phil took the day off, and we loaded up the minivan for the 30-minute trek to Rockford.

Riley takes to water like a fish, much like her dad. Jeremy is like me, and he was content going around the lazy river. I think at one point, he went around with me 10 straight times. Riley found a life jacket and was swimming around in the deep end, shooting baskets. She really wanted to go down the bigger inner tubes, but she wasn't tall enough.

Laughing on the bed.

Riley read Jeremy his new book, which was made by my old company.

We had a wonderful time--the place wasn't crowded at all since it was during the middle of the week. And the kids were worn out by the time we left, so it worked out for everyone's benefit!
