Water World

Gus enjoyed a weekend full of recreation, good food, best buds, and most importantly - swimming!

The Johnson family arrived on Friday afternoon. We grilled, then brought the picnic inside. It was too windy to be outside. Ashton, Carson, and Gus didn't seem to mind eating indoors.

Floor-pong. Is this a new invention because I've never played it before. But I like it. These kids are creative.

And now begins the water activities....

We drove up to Grand Forks to check out the water park at a CanadInn Hotel. Of course, the kids loved it.

Gus liked the kiddie slide because he could do the whole thing on his own.

There goes Carson!

And Ashton.
Gus tried his best to stop the fountain from spraying.


Meanwhile, Ashton embraced the fountains (literally).

The Johnson family (plus Jaime's dad, grandpa Woita) chilled poolside as Paul was in charge of the camera. Not impressed with your job, Paul?


After what seemed like hours, Ross was ready to get out, but not Gus! We finally bribed Gus out of the pool with chocolate Chex mix. It worked.

Gus continued to look for adventures even after the swimming was complete. Sunday morning he requested cart rides.

On Monday, Gus was invited to yet another pool party. This time, it was with his friends Olivia and Violet. We love it when the Demars family comes to town! Here are the kids emerging from the pool, and high-tailing up the stairs to the top of the waterslide. If I had to guess, I would say the girls went down the slide 35-40 times. Gus was a close second with about 20 trips down.

They made time between slide rides to relax in the hot-tub.

Thank you to all our dear friends, and their sweet kids, for a wonderful weekend and start to our week!
