Hot fun in the summertime

Summer days in Arkansas get way too hot! And when you have two active kids that can't swim by themselves, the pool really isn't the best option, so we stay inside most of the time.

Luckily, they LOVE each other (most of the time) and can play well with each other!
This was right after Benjamin's bath...don't you love his 'do?

But you can only stay inside your own home for so long, so today we met Ashley, Davis, and Beth Ann at Chuck E. Cheese's. The kids, of course, had a blast! It's funny how it's different in a parent's eyes, though (worrying about where your child is, making sure you have enough tokens, and then remembering where you put the tokens, etc.)!

"Why is this big 'mou' in the car with me?"

Pretty impressive shot of all 3 of them together! Soon Beth Ann will be able to join in on the group shots.

Benjamin was in bike heaven!

And in "neigh-neigh" heaven!

They found some random gun/shoot 'em up game that we tried to convince them was broken. But they didn't care!

Back on the bus and on their way to school.

Sightseeing on their way to school. ;)
 Since we were at Chuck E. Cheese's at lunch time, we surely couldn't eat lunch there! One because we were out of tokens and didn't want to buy anymore, and two because the kids wanted Chick-fil-A...a Miss Ashley/Momma Dees improved place!
The Atkins left early, so we enjoyed some time still inside with ice cream (a golden way to get them out of the play area!).When we left, ME was already making a game plan for the next time we went to CFA. She said that next time we went there, she wanted to get an ice cream cone. I told her that she did get one, though. But then she reassured me that she JUST wanted to get the cone with "no anything in it". Can't wait to see how that goes!
