Stephens Lake Park

First of all - I love this park! It's close, clean, and has a lot of things for us to do year round. I noticed Saturday that the fountains were turned on after I got the girls hair cuts. So Sunday afternoon we decided to do a little picnic with the Slenker's and have some fountain fun.


Abby and Megan are trying to convince Lily that the water is fun. She wasn't convinced to start with but then had a great time. Landen was climbing on rocks, he took a little longer to convince.



My girls on the other hand couldn't stay out of the water. Megan did actually have a dress on too to start with but didn't want to get it wet. I wasn't sure if they would actually play that much in the water. We'll be bringing swimsuits next time!


Pretty standard here - Megan was fearless and Abby has water in her eyes. Megan would go in head first right through the fountains.

Enjoying cooling off - unfortunately her diaper weighed about 6 lbs. by now.

Braving another fountain. Abby would sneak through, Megan would charge through - her diaper is about to fall off of her butt, she was as always - entertaining.

We got to spend about an hour playing after we had eaten until the bigger kids showed up and it wasn't as fun to play there so we packed it up and headed back home to get out of the sun. We all got a little bit burnt yesterday, but had a great time.

We survived our storms last night without any issues. We'll see if anything shows up in the next couple of days. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joplin, MO and their recovery.
