One Day of water fun before the cold again and Father/Son date















We took the children to this great water park at Hawk Island Park on Memorial Day. It was kind of warm enough and we all wanted so badly to have a water day. We were there and the wind picked up and it became very chilly, the kids would go in and out depending on the wind. I am so use to Memorial Day being HOT, it was not at all what I am use to. We had dinner with our friends, the Carlsons, at our home and it was very fun. I promised the kids that when it was actually hot and pool weather we would take them back to the water park where they would enjoy it much more. Is it to much to ask for some summer weather! I BEG FOR IT! PLEASE GIVE ME WARM WEATHER! I never thought I would be saying that. We are ready for a different season!! I feel like we will not have much of a summer before the cold is back and I do not know if I can take that. It is already JUNE tomorrow and there are days where it feels like the beginnings of FALL. AHHHHH! Anyhow, I try to look at the positives such as the fact that it is extremely beautiful here. There is something about being in the middle of nature, like your in a forest constantly. It can be so serene and peaceful AT TIMES. Of course with kids those times are limited. The kids are well and Jeremy is working hard trying to succeed. In my eyes he has already. He knows what matters and he is grounded in his efforts to balance his life. We can't wait for the arrival of my parents! They are visiting in 2 weeks, whoooo!!! We are counting down the days, literally. It means so much to Jeremy and I AND the children that they visit. We need it and it helps us get through the years. We know it is expensive and not easy but we appreciate it so much! We know if the rest of our family could they would. We miss them all! It was Father and Sons yesterday for our ward but Jeremy was not able to take the kids so instead he took them out to a movie and for ice cream, which is what they asked for. I put a picture of it up above. The kids were sad they missed it but after explaining it they ended up being ok. I am hanging in there and if it were not for good friends I am not sure how sane I would be. :) I miss my family terribly and think of them often. Lately I miss my sister in law alot! We use to take our kids to the water park around 2 times a week last summer and did alot together. I miss her company and just talking to her about life. It is not the same without her around. Of course I know it is temporary but still it hurts alot, ya know. Oh well, it is what it is. All in all we are all well. I guess I had alot to say today. See ya later
