Lots of Fun on a Hot Day

On Saturday August 19th, my mom and I babysat my two little cousins Henry (4) and William(2). It was an extremely hot day outside but luckily they had a pool. We spent two hours swimming and just basically having fun as we used our imagination.

After we got out of the pool and changed, the boys sat on their couch and watched one of their favorite TV shows called BLAZE! I will watch BLAZE all day everday if I had the option between that or Bubble Guppies.

As they watched TV, my mom and I made raviolis that we bought at the store. Since we love to spoil Henry and William, we let them sit at the dining table as they watched BLAZE. William is always a hungry child. He ended up eating four BIG raviolis. Henry who isn't that hungry like his brother, only ate two BIG raviolis.

Of course after we finished eating and cleaning up, the boys were eager to go to the park. So we kept our promise and took them to the park. It was only five short blocks away from their house so we walked.

The first thing the boys love to do the most is go on the swings. Henry can now pump is legs in and out to keep himself swinging. But William needs help because he still sits in the baby swing. After the swings Henry used his imagination on the slides and I played along. Of course the main fun was pretending the sand was snow by jumping in it and pretending to make "snow" angels.

Despite the boys being all sandy, I believe they had a great time. We gave them a nice bath and then let them watch one movie before bedtime. Henry chose Finding Dory. As they watched the movie, I gave out little bowls filled with potato chips and chocolate milk. Henry wasn't hungry so I gave William extra chips.

Before bedtime we read five books. I forget which ones I read. But they must have been good ones because William fell asleep on me. My mom gently lifted him off me and into his bed. Henry went to bed without a problem. After all this guy is getting to be a big boy.

If I could sum up my day with one word I'd say it was AWESOME!
