Just a BlinkProof Time Flies

I took the kids to Cascade Bay for an evening dip because tonight admission was free. Peter joined us after work. We pretended to be crabs and motor boats. We tossed around sand the largest sand box I have ever seen. Molly’s lips quivered from the cool evening air. Ryan went down a ship style water slide more times than I can count.

We ate a dinner of concessions as we listened to steel drums.

As an added plus Market Fest, Eagan’s weekly summer market, was moved to the pathway in front of Cascade Bay. Fresh veggie vendors, live music, artisans and cotton candy-very lovely indeed.

Molly in her zip-up jammies all dried off from the water looked longingly around the patio chair at the pool. I can relate. Fall creates anticipation for holding blankets, wearing sweatshirts and early nights. Yet, I am still tempted look longingly at the summer fun that is mostly behind us now.

Today Peter was Mr. Mom as I went off to work and he did the childcare. The kids love the attention from their Daddy. They are always playing just a little rougher, louder and longer than they do with me so of course Daddy days are always a hit! This afternoon he set up the kiddie pool and hose in the backyard.
