Cloudy With A Chance of Flooding

Jackson starts preschool next Tuesday, so the reality of summer fading is really here. We have been making the most of this last week and having fun so far.

I saw that Thomas was playing at the movie theater, perfect movie for Jackson. We met Lilah and Jennifer on Monday to have lunch and watch the movie. However when I went to buy the tickets there was no Thomas, it was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Not sure Jackson really liked the movie, but at least he loved his hamburger and apples and peanut butter!
Nothing like cooking to wrap up a great morning.:)

All summer long I have been wanting to take Jackson to Noah's Ark pool. Well, we made it there today. We were going to go with a bunch of friends, but plans changed so it was just the two of us. The car ride there was a sweet time. Jackson sang his heart out to every song on the Wee Sing Bible Songs CD.  
We got there right when they opened at 10 and played hard until 1:30. Not many people made for the perfect time sliding and playing.
We have done a lot of things with friends lately, so it was actually nice to have a day with just my boy!
Jackson loved all of the different slides.
He made me race him down the slide, but would always go before he said "go."
Little stinker! 
Running through the muschroom
There is also a big pool with 2 slides and 2 diving boards. At one point, Jackson told me he didn't like shallow water and wanted to swim in the big pool. He tried out both slides and diving boards. It was fun to go back and forth between the splash pad area and the pool. 
More fun with the ark
On the rainbow slide we played 3 Billy Goats Gruff every time. I had to be the troll and say "Who is tromping on my bridge?" Love that boy, he is so much fun!
Have to cool down with an ice cream treat.
What an awesome day with my funny boy, and
I am so thankful for the time I get to spend with him!

I've been dying to take Bennett to Noahs Ark ( and secretly I've been wanting to " play" there too)
I hope you have a great school year!
