MY WATERMELON and "SEE JILL & the KIDS" PARTY !!

Jill and the kids are in town!
What a great time to update my "Watermelon Wall" !!

We made plans to meet at Settler's Park in Meridian on Tuesday night! We were set to have a good turn out but as things go ..... Katelynn got a case of the diarehea and Tammy didn't want to be too far from a bathroom! (Can't blame her) Then Melissa called just as we were headed to Meridian and said she had taken the kids bowling and she was exhausted so they wouldn't be coming either.


SO, WE MADE DO WITH WHO WE HAD .....

MOSTYN

CLAIRE

HAWKINS

NICOLE

GARRETT

SCOTLYN

NEPHI ~ (This one turned out fuzzy ... his dad had to bribe him .... Nephi doesn't like watermelon so his dad told him if he would take one bite, he'd take him to McDonald's for a happy meal afterwards .... it worked! Unfortunately, we'll have to bribe him again some day to get a clearer picture!) lol

JACK

We all enjoyed visiting (when we weren't chasing the little ones)

This was taken of Jill and the kids before Deedra and her three and Colby, Krista and Nephi showed up!

Grandpa enjoying the shade (what little there was)

THE WATER

Settler's has a great water pad! All the kids had a blast getting wet and cooling off!

Even Colby got in on the fun!

From the looks of this picture, he wasn't the only dad enjoying the water.
The man in the back was really getting into it! Nephi and Garrett and I believe those two little hands on Garrett's backside are Nikki's! lol

Scotlyn is so tanned! She looks like the little "Coppertone Baby"

I wish I could bottle her energy!

Nikki waiting for the spurt but it looks like Garrett got it!
THE PLAYGROUND
Mostyn in the bubble !

Hawkins in the bubble! eeewl ..... I hate to think of the bugs growing on the inside of this! lol

Scotlyn is all girl! She wanted to have her picture taken like the boys but she was smart enough to press her hands ONLY on the plastic!

AGAIN Gramma!!!

I was amazed to see her attempt to climb the rock wall ...... and she did!!!

Garrett was riding the horse and yelling "Yahoo" ....

Little Miss Monkey !

Look Dad! I can do pull ups just like you!

The three Amigos!

Hey Gramma! I'm Number One!



THE SLIDES

The little ones enjoyed the slides!

So did the moms! Deedra and Jack!

Garrett was all smiles at the bottom of the slide!

And so was Scotlyn!



THE SWINGS

There is no lack for something to do at Settlers! It's full of awesome toys for the kids! Who doesn't love to swing??

Like I said ...... who doesn't love to swing ??

Scotlyn in the BIG Butt swing ......

And Jack too!

Nikki and Garrett found a new friend and tried out the tire swing!

Then Nikki and her friend got brave and stood up! Yee haw!
It was a great evening!! We all enjoyed the food, heat, water and fun but especially each other! Thanks to all who came !

Great pics! By the way, the one where you think they are Nikki's hands on Garrett are actually just Garrett's hands.
