COUNTRY TIME LEMONADE?!


Well, not literally, But it is homemade lemonade, and we are out in the country!! When you have a OLD fold out eating tray, an ice chest and a 4-wheeler... well, lets just say that it doesn't get more country than that!!

Bailee and her friends had the best time today setting up a lemonade stand. I was very proud of them. They made their own sign and made their own lemonade. I did not help out a bit!

I was with them, But I also watched from across the street.

Just within 5 minutes of setting up, they had their 1st customer, they were soo excited!



So excited that Bailee Grace and Mary Grace did their special little handshake!!

The girls 1st dollar they earned!





People just kept stopping by Even people who were hard at work and they just needed a cool refreshment.

These guys LOVED the kids lemonade!!



Mary Grace and Ashley decided to go wave the sign down the street to get others attention





Caiden even joined in!

I cannot tell you how many cars stopped but it was a lot!



The girls sold out of the first batch and came back to the house to make more!! That is UNREAL!!

The kids looking at ALL the money they made!! They ended up making 21 dollars and 50 cents, not bad!!!!

The kids had soo much fun doing this, they ended up selling out a second time, but I thought they had sold enough!! What a day they had. We came home and divided the money and they cannot wait to do it again!!

BLUE BAYOU IN BATON ROUGE


We had such a great time at this water park!


The kids and I went along with my friend and her daughter Friday.


Then we all went back Sunday with Jerry.


Bailee was so glad to have a friend there to enjoy all the water rides!


They played in the wave pool








The kids also enjoyed a relaxing stroll along the Lazy river.















































Bailee coming down the big water slide. I was so proud of both of them. They did almost every one. I think We only skipped out on just one!





Only In the Bayou state!!





Bailee and Laurin were inseparable, they got along so well!


They enjoyed riding the rides, I was so glad they worked together carrying the tube up the stairs, I had a hard time climbing all those stairs.


Here is Jerry and the kids on the 1st water slide





It was so fun to watch the look in their faces, they LOVED it!





Me and the kids on a water slide.


You really get splashed a lot when you are first on those tubes!! I was drenched!












I LOVE this picture. How sweet , A brother and sister.



















This water ride was AWESOME!! I call it the LSU ride!

Bailee going down . It was a straight down ride, it was very fast.





I was really scared, and endured it, and loved it!








Me and the kids


You spin around like a toliet bowl with this ride.





Jerry and I racing down the slide


I beat him!








The kids racing











Jerry and the kids








This ride was very dark inside and the water hot








The kids cooling off














We took a little snack break and got some nachos and a coke. Rested and we were ready to go at it again





Caiden


Look at those HUGE feet!










Jerry












Bailee

























We walked over to the amusement park and did the only water ride they had the log ride. We wanted to go ahead and do this because we were going there that night and we did not want to get wet again.





It was FUN!





Our BIG splash at the end!



We had so much fun and cannot wait to go back!
