Road Trip!

We had a great day with a mini road trip…to Bloomington.  After 7 1/2 years, I decided it was time to visit the State Farm Park for employees.  First we did lunch at Chuck E. Cheese’s.  The boys loved playing the games.

Then it was off to the pool at the park.  It was amazing.  State Farm really out-did themselves for their employees and it was a very enjoyable time even though it was very crowded!

The boys walking on the bridge that goes over the Lazy River.  You can barely see them, but they were so cute!

And my baby.  Just looking cute.

Patrick is 5.  He’s in the 30th percentile for height, so he looks quite small.  But he can swim.  So he’s allowed to go off the diving board and the water slides that empty into 12 foot.  He’s usually the subject of smiles and conversations of those watching.  And Nicki and I love to watch him jump in the deep and swim to the edge.  I finally caught him doing both! (He’s on the left diving board in the first clip and the red/yellow blur coming out of the slide in the second clip.)
