We had two full weekends of fun celebrating Father's Day this year. Last weekend, Daddy came up with perfect activity to do on a sweltering 100+ degree Sacramento Valley summer day; Sunsplash Water Park in Roseville. We drive past the place all the time and the girls point and exclaim, "look, a castle" or "woohoo, water slides", so they've definitely showed interest in going. They both learned how to swim last summer on their own, but we didn't take them enough afterwards, so they are at a point this summer where they are learning all over again. Elise is really close to swimming and will even jump in the water now, but Alina has clammed up since last year and needs to be held in the water to feel comfortable. They had a great time at Sunsplash, but it took a while before we could get them on the water slides. By the end of the day, they both went down the slides on their own! It was pretty fun to watch the progression from initial hesitance and uncertainty to full blown water slide thrill seeking fun. They had a great time and daddy really enjoyed the day with his girls. Happy Father's Day!
On actual Father's Day weekend, Dad was out of town, so Mom took over and showed the girls a weekend of fun. Momma and Grandma took the girls on their very first kayaking trip out at Lake Natoma in Folsom. They did really well and were little troopers, as we spent most of the afternoon out on the lake. We took them to the small island in the middle of Lake Natoma where they got to feed some geese and ducks. They really enjoyed that part, and they also loved getting to help with the oars and row the kayaks. It was a fun experience, and we hope to take them again soon.
