Family Fun Day

Mike and I wanted to do something special as a family today, so we took the kids to the Monticello Community Center. I was very impressed with the facility. The kids had a blast in the pool. There was a big playground right in the middle of the pool!

Slides, tunnels, sprinklers, a tire swing, and water guns kept them busy.

Mike, Nolan, and I thought the big waterslide was amazingly fast!

After swimming, Nolan tried rock climbing for his first time.

He did a great job making his way up the wall.

He got a little nervous the first time,

but made it a little over half way up on his second attempt.

Great job little buddie!

The minute I saw that wall, I knew that needed to give it a shot too. I was surprised with how nervous I was on my first attempt. Looking down was not the smartest thing to do, so instead I stayed focused on the bell at the top. Ring, a-ling, a-ling! I made it!
The experience was thrilling! Knowing what to expect made the second attempt a lot easier. The center has three different walls to climb. This is something I think I could get into...
next time, I am going to be brave and give level two a try.

We worked up quite an appetite swimming and climbing, so off to Chuck E. Cheese we went.
The kids had a wonderful time on all the rides...

Playing the games...

Winning the tickets...

Racing the cars...

...and getting the treats!

Lilly was in heaven with this lollipop!

Spending the day together as a family was absolutely perfect!
