DPoD July 24th - Last Thursday

Ok. I think I fell a little out of sync. Here's what we were up to last Thursday.
It was still really, really hot and humid. When we were going to bed the thermometer outside still read 25 degrees, but with the humidity and little air movement I'm sure that it was still above thirty when we were trying to get to sleep. Little Monkey was in a pool of his own sweat whenever I checked on him. Poor guy.
So today we headed for the little water park in town. The boys just LOVED it! Big C was a little tentative at first, taking a while to warm up to the idea of running through the water park. THis may have been in some part due to the fact that Monkey would turn on the water effects any time that someone got close. Once Big C got the hang of this though and saw that this is how the game worked, he was all in. He did take some time however to show off his 'skater bum' (the swimming trunks don't fit quite the same ina swim diaper as they do with a regular one) and jump off of the cement that covered all the water controls.

The boys also had a great time playing with cousin Banana at the swings. There were a lot of laughs to be had all around. We even tried to get a photo of the 3 of them together on the top of a fake rock, but attention was hard to grasp from all 3 of them at the same time.

After we had another picnic lunch with some groceries from the local store, we were off to Aunt K's place for some more ice cream cones- woo hoo! We played the afternoon away and had a great time.

For supper we were off to my Aunt J's place. She and Uncle E had a great spread put out for us, but the boys were far more interested in playing with the hose and one of her games before supper time. Big C had firgured out that he has the hose winneth, so he was sure to grab hold and keep Monkey at bay. Both were soaking wet for supper time, but neither cared. After supper there was chocolate cake and ice cream, complete with chocolate sauce. I think that Monkey's piece was literally bigger than his head. He had such a huge smile!

After supper the boys went to investigate Uncle E's boat shop. Uncle knew of Big C's fascination with transportation, so both he and Monkey had a turn at operating the forklift that he had in the garage. I think that for Big C this was the highlight of the trip! Thanks Uncle E!!

Both boys crashed when we got home, ready for just one more sleep before the big race!
