Madelyn has started school full time, what?? I have a kindergartner and she is loving it.  Tim and I aren't early risers, but Madelyn is for the most part.  She'll be up in her bed waiting for us to come get her in the morning's....for now at least.  Her favorite part is eating lunch, hunting Pete the cat and recess.

But before she started full time, we had another adventure with our friend Mr. John.  He took us to Ijams nature center on a hike.  The kids did okay for the most part.  It was an overcast day and perfect for a hike.  Theo found all sorts of rocks and sticks. 

Last week, a few gals took our friend Rachel to celebrate her birthday.  We went downtown to eat and have gelato.  I always love going downtown.  It was such a fun fun night of laughs.

That morning a group of us went to run (or walk in my case) a 5k for our friend Misty and Brian's Butterfly Fund to support and raise money for kids with cancer. 

While MJ is off at school, Theo and I have fun playing with wikistiks, play doh, running errands, gym time, coloring and lots of giggles.

Kentucky Splash

Last Friday, we went up to a local water park, Kentucky Splash.  A few friends had mentioned it to us thinking the kids would like it....and they did!  It's small and quaint, but perfect for our kids.  There were a couple slides they weren't tall enough to go on, but hopefully next year.  Theo's favorite part was the wave pool, until he got splashed in the face.  Then it was the lazy river.  I would get in the tube then he would hang on it behind me.  He could have stayed there all day.  Love that boy.  On the other hand, Madelyn loved the wave pool...even after getting splash.  She also liked the tadpole pool (little kid area).  We're trying to enjoy these last few days before Madelyn goes to school full time.

lunch time!

On our way home we just happened to pass a Fazoli's.  When we were in college, we would eat there all the time.  It's a fast food Italian place and they have such good breadsticks!

Fun day in the sun!
