Outside play day

Today, I was on call again for work! We haven't been very busy and we are a bit overstaffed, so it was my turn to not work again! Instead of sitting around the house all day waiting for the phone to ring, I decided to make the most of a sunny day with the kiddos. First, we met Andy near his work for lunch. We went to In and Out burger, or as Alyssa says "The milkshake store." We had a great lunch with Andy, then it was off to Nanny's house for the afternoon. The kids played at her house for a while and Alyssa had a blast trying out Nanny's new exercise stepper. She was so cute following the videos and doing the routines! She's never 'exercised' before, but she was a pro! After that playing around, we went down the street to Karen & Ed's house to swim in their pool for a while. The whole 3 hours we were there, Alyssa was in and out doing cannonballs. Her goal was to do 1 million cannonballs! By her terms, she met that goal when it was time to go home! Jaden spent a little while in the pool, but mainly he was content to play in his pack n play the whole time. After an exhausting few hours in the 100 degree heat, we went back to Nanny & Opa's house for dinner. I don't know how, but the kids rode bikes/cars and played outside until dinner was ready. All in all, my goal of a busy outside play day went well! Everyone had such a great time!
