Aleah 4 - Jessi 32 - Jill 33 - Becky 60

 Yes, we DO have the July birthdays, don't we??  A VERY Happy Birthday to Aleah and Jessi whose birthdays I didn't mention yet!!

 

And here's the birthday girls on Saturday, July 13th!!

But before we headed out for the days' activities..........Gary had headed out to the reservoir early to save a place under a canopy and to grab a couple of picnic tables - but it was not to be!!  The Reservoir was having a triathlon and there were about 5000 people out there - and it was closed to the public.  Gosh, there went Plan A - next was Plan B which would have been Jessi and Gary's subdivision swimming pool but it was also closed due to a swim meet - Plan C WORKED!!  Centennial Park turned out to be perfect!!

I requested coffee at Carinos so rode in Jessi's car and we made a quick stop for coffee and a smoothie for Jill!!  The day was perfect - a little bit of cloud cover and blue skies!!

I had been to this park once before and loved it!!  This time the splash part was also open so the kids all wore their suits and had a ball when the water was turned on!!  Jaime decided to do some climbing!

It wasn't too crowded at first so that made it nice!!  Jessi's friends Courtney and Matt and their 2 girls also joined us!!  Here's Robby and Jill enjoying the day!

Jill will hate this picture but I think it's classic!!! I think she's actually thinking about trying a piece of cantaloupe or honey dew - she's not fond of either!!   Of course Patty came along too!

The sandbox is always a hit at this park - and I shouldn't call it a "box" because it's HUGE!!!

Have I ever taken a picture when Kenzie wasn't smiling?  She's a photographers delight!!

It's a lot harder to capture Aleah smiling but I clicked a minute too soon because she DID smile in someone elses picture!!

Kylan was enjoying the water AND the sand!!

After a couple of hours in the sun, it was time to head back to Jaime's for lunch and gifts!!  Can you tell I'm stretching this weekend out as long as I can?
