Ohio & More- Part 2

The second full day of our trip was spent hanging out with just our family of 4 before joining up with a big family reunion at Dan's uncle's house.  A lady at our hotel gave us a discount card for a local pool that has a huge kids splash and play area.  It was soo hot we lathered up in sunscreen and headed out to the pool.  I think this was Amelia's favorite part of the whole trip!

Luke and Daddy enjoying the water

Amelia LOVED the slide

She kept playing in the small spray of water that wets the slide- the lifeguard kept telling her to slide on her bottom because they thought she was about to go down head first.  Nope- she had a whole pool full of water and she liked to play in the little spray that keeps the slide wet

 Daddy and Luke tried out the slide

Amelia did some actual swimming- she walked some and floated and tried kicking her legs- not bad for only her 2nd time in big pool

poor Luke- his Daddy loves doing silly pictures . . . I guess he will get used to it and probably love it when he gets a little older (for those worried about Luke- Dan's body blocked all the water so he didn't even notice they were standing under a waterfall)

love these chubby cheeks!

poor Luke again- his big sister just really loves to hug him :)

After a fun time at the pool and no nap- we headed to Uncle Mark's house for dinner with all the family.  By all the family- I mean his wife had a bunch of her side of the family there as well as us, Grammy and Papa, and Great Grandma Murfin.  It was crazy!  Here is Uncle Mark playing blocks with Amelia and his grandson and granddaughter.

Then it was off to the fireworks!

Whew!  What a crazy couple of days in Ohio.  The next day we headed back down to spend a couple of days in Gatlinburg.
