We arrived early and had lots of down time before lunch.
How do you like that lay-up... Joe (not so) patiently waiting to eat.
Chow time...
This is my immediate family.

I don't know what it is, but when I bring a bunch of bananas home the kids eat them like crazy for the first couple days...then nothing...no matter how hard I push for a banana snack or with their breakfast they want no part of it.
I found this super easy banana nut bread recipe on Weight Watchers a few years back and when we have those yucky brown bananas, I will make a couple loaves of bread. We will eat one right away and I freeze one.
Banana Nut Bread
1 yellow cake mix
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 cup banana (2 overly ripe)
4 oz chopped pecans
Combine cake mix, egg & milk. Add bananas. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into 2 greased pans.
350 for 40 - 45 minutes
Don't forget the sprinkles, must always have sprinkles!!
Saturday we had planned on going to the real water park, but it rained really hard in the morning. Finally, the sun came out so we went to the local park for the kid's to play in the water later that afternoon.
Thanks to hand me downs Jasmine had this outfit in two sizes and gave her friend the smaller one. I thought they looked ADORABLE!!
Our friends made the most yummy kabobs on the grill -- with beef, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, onions, peppers and pineapple -- I ate way too much!!
They also have the video game ROCK BAND
Sunday after church we went to lunch at Gram's where I made a new recipe that ROCKED!!
Sopapilla Cheesecake -- so good and easy.
And that evening for Father's Day we made steaks and barbecue grilled asparagus on the grill.
Another one of my favorites.
Today Jasmine started a new summer program and I am anxious to pick her up to see how she likes it. They have fun activities planned throughout the summer and she is very excited.
So after his class was over he got to play on the playground outside of the pool area.
First stop was a birthday party for my nephew Luke.
WOW, what a place...go-karts, bumper boats, arcade, laser tag, miniature golf and best of all (according to Cash) Spiderman!!
Cash was like a stalker when Spiderman was walking around. That was all he could focus on, didn't want to have anything to do with games or rides...here are just a few shots
Once Spiderman finally went away, we were able to get down to business.
First was game time, each kid got a cup full of tokens.After games was pizza, cake and presents...blah blah blah
Then to the good stuff....well miniature golf anyways...which my kid's bored with real quick
Now, we get really get to the good stuff....GO KARTS!! We had so much fun!!
Jasmine rode with me and Cash rode with Grandpa John...Yeehaw! After go-karts was bumper boats, which was quite refreshing in the heat.
We all walked away good and WET!
This adventure took a little longer than I anticipated and we had thirty minutes from the time we got home until we needed to be out the door. During this time I assembled the cake I had baked in the morning.
Oh well, cake was still yummy. After baking you poke holes in the cakes and pour Jell-O over them then put them in the fridge for three hours so it can Jell. I also put a layer of strawberries in between the two layers.
We spent the evening with our small group from Sunday School and had a great time.
Sunday after Church one of the couples asked if we wanted to meet them at the water park after lunch, but I just wasn't up to it. A girl has gotta rest sometimes!! After a lunch of grilled cheese and tomato soup, I totally vegged out....at least for a few hours. That evening we had Orientation for Jasmine's Church day-camp she will be going to the end of June.
That's it, that's all she wrote....I was completely pooped and went straight to bed when we got home. Until I saw lights driving down our driveway....only they didn't stop at the house, they kept going out into our pasture. I woke Joe up and we both ran outside...turns out one of the neighbors horses had busted loose and thought our grass had more to offer than his. So our neighbor is driving his truck around in the back 40 trying to chase the horse down with only his headlights as guidance. Joe and I went back into the house and watched out the back window with amusement for awhile, then headed off to bed.
