The Best $4 We Ever Spent

Since it’s so hot here, many of the local Jr. High Schools and High Schools have “aquatic centers” that are open to the public during the summer. A couple of weeks ago, we took the kids to Hamilton Aquatic Center for the day. It cost us $0.50 for each child over 2 and $1.00 for each adult. Kaden and Spencer brought their underwater camera and helped take some pictures. Here’s how it went:

Spencer and Kaden also ventured onto the 1 meter diving boards and tried 360’s, cannon-balls, and all kinds of tricks.

Even Ashton become so brave that we had to keep a hold on him at all times.  He would just charge into the water thinking he could swim.

The water slides were a hit too.  They had two side-by-side slides and we spent hours “racing” eachother down the slide.

So, as you can see, we had a ton of fun for only $4.

Big Personality

Ashton may be small, but his personality is enormous. He now takes time during just about every meal time to entertain the family. He’ll make faces until we’re all rolling on the floor. The funny part is, he can change his expression from second to second. He’ll make a funny smile, then roll his eyes, then make a serious face and peer under furrowed brows, all within seconds. I’ll try and post some video soon, but here are some still shots.

Ashton also now thinks its fun to stuff his mouth full to the max when he’s eating. He almost lost this serious of bites:

But seconds later he was happily trying to stuff even bigger bites in his mouth.
