We've had such a busy spring and now we are off to a busy summer. The first two weeks of June, Lyra Kate took her first sports lessons. We started with a two week Tennis Camp. I know, tennis isn't where most 4 year olds start learning sports, but have you met our redheaded 4-year old? She is just not your t-ball kinda girl.

We were only supposed to have lessons Monday through Thursday, but the first day of lessons was canceled due to thunderstorms and we had to make up a lesson on Friday. So, the hubby and I decided to make a day of it. We got everyone up and ready to go, drove 22 minutes to the courts, got there just in time for the 8 a.m. lesson, and watched the hour long lesson complete with a popsicle break.

We then left the craziness of tennis and went to Connie’s for breakfast. Ahhh, Connie’s. How I miss living near Connie’s. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Connie’s is this great little Chicken place that is locally owned. It is across from the hospital (in town) and has the best ever chicken biscuits for breakfast. They also have the best blueberry doughnuts, the best onion rings, and the best chicken strips. When we lived in town, Connie’s was a once a week thing - before children. Now we have to make an outing just to go have Connie’s.

After breakfast, we ran by Fred's for sunscreen since I forgot it, and went to the Splash Pad at Veterans Park. Oh my, what fun we had.

Lyra Kate jumped right in the water and had a great time. So did Tucker. It was his first trip to the Splash Pad and he loved it. He squealed and giggled and ran, ran, ran!

Ain't he stylish
|
Unfortunately, Lila Grace decided that the Splash Pad was not for her. I was a bit confused since she loves the sprinkler, but she panicked and spent the hour hiding from the thing.

Lila Grace's only run through the water

Our strategy was to get there right at 10 a.m. to avoid the crowds. It worked until around 11 when the second daycare van arrived. Needless to say, it was time to go.

We packed up to head home. Of course, my hubby ran into someone he knew and spent 5 minutes catching up. Meanwhile, I was attempting to change 3 kids, 2 in diapers for the the 20 minute drive home. We managed to get it all together and headed home for lunch.

He was just fascinated by the water

We need more days like this, especially when they include long afternoon naps for the littles and for Mommy and Daddy.
