Staycation Day 3

We decided to finish our Staycation with a trip to Smithville lake so the kids could experience a little 'beach' action.  Colin thought it was awesome, Maggie, not so much.
She is such a little princess sometimes, she actually refused to get sand on her flip flops (translation: she insisted on being carried everywhere in the sand).



Colin jumped right in and started working on a sandcastle


Maggie stayed on a sand-free towel



Brian got Maggie out in the lake for only a moment before she decided she wanted to retreat to the towel again



Princess Maggie


Meanwhile the boys
had a wonderful time having a 'squishy mud fight'



I'm not sure who won, but they both had tons of fun!



Ewww...look at Colin's back





And a muddy hug right before they rinsed off (just to do it again about 15 minutes later)






After our fun morning, we once again headed home for lunch and a rest.
We found out that Colin's t-ball practice had been canceled that evening because the fields were too swampy to play, so we decided to take advantage of the time and hit up the Parkville mini-golf


Before the first hole



Waiting on Daddy to finish the hole



Getting some putting lessons from the pro



The 3 of us champions holding up our fingers announcing our 'hole in one' status.
Yes, even Maggie got a hole in one (but not Brian!)
He did get one on the last hole though, which he claimed was better than our hole. :)

It was sad to get back to work on Thursday, but we really did have a wonderful time gallivanting around Parkville and north Kansas City.
There was minimal fighting, I was able to keep up on laundry, they all took naps daily and slept in (sordof), all were happy!
