PLAYMOBIL LAND

We had a great family day on Saturday. The weather was sunny, but still cool and we had a blast letting the boys explore PLAYMOBIL Land. We grabbed a picnic and made sure everyone had full tummies before making our journey into the park. Although I don't think it would have mattered if we had brought coolers of food in with us. There really is so much for the kids to do-- not wait in line, but actually play with, on, and run around the different areas. After we got home and I watched the video Ben took of us right after lunch I could just imagine ... well, if you ever wanted to know what it would be like to hang out with our family- this is a prime example. Don't feel like you HAVE to watch this- you don't. This is mostly for the family and DIEHARD friends who might want to remember the goofiness we deliver almost daily.

and then we entered the fun land....


What is this kid thinking?
 
 PIRATE LAND- We all got onto this raft and floated around for 10 minutes. We really didn't mean to crash into everyone else on the water... honest.
 PRINCESS and UNICORN?... that's right. These boys have no shame.


CAN YOU SPOT ALL OF THE PLATT BOYS?

Notice the relaxing way he drives his tractor?

and now the intensity which Cael has racing?
Connor absolutley loved the Sand and Water area. The first thing he did was lie down on his stomach, observing and resting like a lizard sunning on a rock. Then he proceeded to scoop the red stuff up and attempted to cover mom's leg. Thanks buddy. Nothing like sand all over the place to make a day totally worth it.
 And lastly a huge covered megaplex with all the playmobil toys (each genre, farm, dragons, pirates, doll house, etc) set up all over the place. Plus there was even an indoor tree house for those rainy days.
When we left it began to sprinkle and we somehow managed to park as far away as possible. The boys didn't mind too much and five minutes down the road they were all out. You gotta love a fun filled day with the family!

KITES

Everytime I look at these pictures I smile. These two little guys are hilarious when they are together. Poor baby Canon gets the rough-end of the stick when Connor sets his sights on him. But from the picture below it totally looks like Canon finally gave him the what-for...


 HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A WET WILLY? When Connor gets the chance he totally takes Canon down and holds him there until I have to physically remove him from the poor kid. I just know these two boys are going to be tough
 The weather was perfect for flying kites and Brecon did so good holding onto his string. But after awhile his legs were tired of standing there so he figured out a way to fly his kite and enjoy himself. Way to find the seat in the van my son!

Cael was quite the kite-chaser. This is the new kite his daddy got for him and he is pretty good at keeping it up in the air, when he is not trying to dive-bomb his mother and it crashes  into the ground. Such a funny boy. We were glad the Miners were good sports after we surprised "visited" them after our Saturday adventure out and about.

Oh how these boys make me smile! I am still in awe that I have been blessed with these three beautiful boys and how they have changed my world around.  I am so happy for this MOTHERs DAY and for all the beautiful women who have been a part of my life... and for all the beautiful children too!
