Pool Time and Race Time







We've begun our summer at the Silverlake Waterpark. While we anticipated going to the pool a lot, it hasn't happened due to an outbreak of Shigella in the area which is spread at the pool. In fact, Ryan may have it. Because of it, they won't let any kids that aren't potty trained in the pool, so Nick is unable to go. But we'll live!










We have been to the pool before this happened a few times. The kids love it. Once we showed Nick how to manuever the froggy slide, he is hesitant to ever leave! But he thinks he is a big kid and will follow Emma and Ryan onto the play area where the water is sprayed all over and will even go down the little tube slide. Emma and Ryan have moved onto wanting to do the lily pads all the time, which I am unable to help them with on my own, so they can only do it while Daddy is there! They still manage to have fun and enjoy themselves though!











And it's also begun race season here. While we ran the Flying Pig events at the beginning of May, we now run more 5ks. I ran one a few weeks ago by myself, achieving my best time

ever! 28 minutes and 40 seconds. I place 41 over all and 1st in my division! I wish I would have waited around for the results (but we were going to the zoo later!). Kris ran in a 5k last weekend and made his time in 25 minutes and something. He was happy with his time and we spent the rest of the day at the park and having lunch outside.
