Heavenly Image

We spent Sydney's actual birthday at a pool party at a friends

house. We noticed the clouds, with the sun shining through

and couldn't resist the picture.

Discovery Island Fun for Sydney's Birthday

Gran and I took Sydney and Taylor to a water park in

Greenville, called Discovery Island. They had a lazy river,

splash zone complete with water falls, and water guns,

and two slides. Sydney convinced Gran to take a trip down the

slide on a double tube, and got me to take a ride down the yellow

twisty slide with no tube at all! Taylor took a couple of laps on the

Lazy River with Gran. She was not a big fan of the Splash Zone. (Doesn't

Like to get squirt in the face). After the water park, we browsed the goods

at Target. Sydney picked out a new bookbag, and then selected Moes '

Southwestern Cafe for lunch. Great Choice Syd!!!! We ended up spending

the week celebrating Syds birthday, and have decided that it is the best

way to do it. SO from now on, we can all have birthweeks!!!!! More days--

MORE CAKE!

I found the cutest matching Dr. Seuss-esk
P.J.s for the girls

Sydney and Taylor loved cooling off in the pool.
The heat index for the week averaged 110 degrees,
so it was not surprising to find that the ocean
was WARM> The pool had a chiller on, so the pool
water kept your goose bumps busy!!!!
