Summer's officially over......

Summer just isn't complete until we've done two things, gone to Waterton and Calaway park. There was only a week left of summer holidays and we hadn't done either things. So we crammed both into the last week.

Kristy and I packed up all the kids one day and went to Waterton. We didn't do much, just played at the amazing new park and rode bikes around, but that was all we needed. The kids had a blast and there is nothing that I like more.

Of course we had to go to Big Scoop, the "kids" really wanted to. Ok maybe I was just really craving rolo ice cream, which they were out of.

The cutest, happiest little Brayker..

Here's our cousin picture. Know one but Kristy and I will know how painful it was to get everyone just sitting together. I don't even care that hardly anyone is even looking or smiling, just a miracle that every one's there. Wish that Mikey and Max were there.

Two little cousins that surprisingly didn't get sick from the amount of popcorn twists they consumed. They were too busy eating to smile for the picture.

And for the Calaway Park trip Steve was able to get a couple days off work and come. So we went up Thursday morning, went on rides till the park closed and then headed to a hotel that had water slides that the kids played on all night. The kids had so much fun. Summer was literally one hair to short to go on a lot of the rides. There were a few meltdowns through out the day because of this. Besides that everyone had fun and got to go on all the rides they wanted. I still get a little sick thinking about the ride I went on with Haylie. It was called "Chaos", and that is the only word to describe it. I was honestly sick the whole rest of the day. I was really lame that day and didn't want to pack my camera around so I did not take one single picture. Looking back really would it of killed me?? Oh well. Here's the one and only picture I got of the day.....

Everyone in the car (except you can't see Micah but she is there) after Calaway.

So after Calaway we headed to our hotel which was almost just as fun a Calaway park. For those people considering have 6 children here's a warning. They will not let you book a hotel room if you have more than 7 people. Even if one is a small baby who takes up hardly and room. According to them we couldn't even fit in the deluxe family suite. It was quite annoying. So we had to book 2 rooms. And they didn't have any adjoining rooms left of course, so Steve stayed in one room with half the kids and I stayed with the other half. The kids had a blast swimming all night and all morning. We did a little shopping the next day and then headed home.
