A is for Alligator....








We are still working on dropping the morning nap. So what do we do on weekends? Drag ourselves around town and run ourselves ragged until noon, so she will sleep. It seems to work. Here are some pics from the zoo. After the zoo we went to Niehius Park by our house and met our cousins, Sutton, Max and Lauren. It went well. By the way - my little snob that wouldn't put her feet in the "poo" (pool) wanted to ride the big girl slide. So I let her...yeah...she loved it. Wouldn't stop doing it. As a matter of fact, our new lesson is going to be how to wait in line. She would go to the top, look at the other kids and FREAK out hoping they would move out of the way. No pics of that though...that will have to come next time. She was running David and I ragged. By the way, please note my favorite picture. The one where David is supposed to be watching her. Crack up - he is looking one way and she is OFF in the other!
In case you are looking for something fun and different to do one hot weekend, consider going to Niehius Community Park Center. It is off 51st and Lynn Lane in Broken Arrow. I have been begging Laura to come and the boys had a blast. Kids under 3 are free, adults are 4$, children 4-12 are $3 for entrance. The concessions are unreal. And by that I mean, $1 for a hot dog, 50 cents for candy, chips, snow cones, etc. It is super cheap. The best part of all. The pool is like a mini Big Splash and none of the cost. I am including a link to the website, but the pictures do not do it justice. By the way, moms of little ones, there are TWO baby pools, you might not be able to see in the pic. I promise, it is worth a try. And if you love it, the passes are $40 per person for the whole summer. Sound high? Look into joining a pool. And remember those 3 and under are free. Okay I can't find a link...I will try to take pics next time we are there....By the way for older kids, two tubular swirly slides, two tubular straight shoot slides, wade in pool and TONS of lifeguards.

Yes, I have to admit that she was begging us to go...but it seemed like a long drive to go to "pool". But, people this is not your ordinary pool. ALthough Max pointed out there was not a diving board..but it has everything else a kid could want. Seriously, it looks like a much cleaner, smaller big splash. We are definitely new fans and will be coming back! I already talked to Molly about going the next time they come home.
