Cousin Camp - Monday

The morning started off rough ... K9 & C8 were a little exclusive and didn't want to include Q7. Q7 bit C8. Although when questioned, Q7 said her mouth was open and C7 put her shoulder in Q7s mouth JUST as Q7 as Q7 was shutting it. Hm. That sounds a little suspect to me. Anyway, C8 & K9 went off and played and Q7 spent the morning in her room.

After lunch, though, things picked up. I took them to Chillum Splash Pool, where we spent 2.5 hours in the pools, and 3/4 of an hour at the playground.

I got zinged for taking photos, but I didn't delete them. So, let's start with two videos. Not sure why they were doing bridges under water, but I thought it looked cool.

About 20 minutes before I planned to leave, they hit the lilly pads ... so much fun trying to walk across the pool on those pads. Q7 just swung across on the netting if she lost her footing. C8 fell in once or twice. And K9 was very deliberate and did not fall off the pads!

 

With this visit to the splash pool the girls found their cousin camp theme: Water. The first day they went to the pool (and the 2nd). The 2nd day they spent hours on water balloons. Today, the splash pool. Tomorrow they want to go to a public play-in fountain (and the library. And we have to go to piano lessons). The last day they want to go to a splashground, but it may end up being the sprinkler under the trampoline for a while, then the pool. Good summer theme, though, I think!
