Skylar's Special Day

It's become the tradition to have a special day with Chase and Skylar before school starts. Two weeks ago the kids and I got the opportunity to spend some time alone with Skylar. It used to be that we would do our nails and shop, but this year she wanted to to a waterpark.

We decided to Bunker Hills Waterpark in Coon Rapids. It was a very cool place with a wide variety of water fun. They did have a wave pool, which I was nervous about with 3 kids and only myself, but luckily since the weather hasn't been as nice as one would typically hope for in late August, the pool was really cold so the kids weren't interested in it. Skylar and Teague took off to the big kid things and Lola and I stuck closer to the little kid things. I can really tell Lola is getting sick of being the "little kid" really quickly!

After that Sky wanted to try out the new Chuck E. Cheese in St. Cloud. The kids took a little nap on the way to St. Cloud and we enjoyed some incredible pizza.  The kids had a good time, what more can you ask for?!  Then we went home, played and had a nice bonfire.

All in all, a great and special day with a super special girl! I want to enjoy the time she wants to spend with us now, because she is a pre-teen and likely won't find it quite as "cool" to do things like that with us soon!
