Bubbles & Splash Pads

With the slightly less oppressive heat we've been outside a little more this last week/weekend. Friday we met Sasha & Xiomy at Ra for some awesome-as-always sushi, followed by a visit to the splash pad at Keirland Commons. Saturday I met up with John and we golfed the Legacy Golf Resort. It was my first time out (and it showed), but the weather was PERFECT with a little 5 min sprinkle to cool us off. Mara spent the day with Sasha, Xiomy, and Sasha's friend Caroline (in town for the weekend). They hit up Gordon Biersch to watch some World Cup soccer. They then hit another splash pad at Tempe Town Lake, which has always been closed when we went. Rohan had a blast in the water, and it's right in the flight path from Phoenix International Airport, so Rohan got to see planes all day too! Mara then got Rohan to take a short nap and she got some more studying done while he slept in the passenger seat.
After we both got done, Mara picked me up (Rohan was still sleeping!) and we headed to Heather & John's to cook out kabobs on the grill and watched Shutter Island afterwards. Quite a full day!
We capped off the weekend with a trip back to the Tempe Town Lake splash pad, followed by awesome fruit smoothies, and a nice relaxing evening. Rohan has also been LOVING the bubbles and will chase them as long as we can produce them. Linus & Schroeder have been getting into it as well. It's pretty funny to watch all of them attack the bubbles at once.
A really fun weekend for all of us since we were all feeling better after contracting Rohan's stomach bug. Heather, John, Some of their friends, Rohan, and I all got a taste of the virus. Mara was the only one to avoid getting sick (probably because she's too busy to be sick!).
Enjoy the pictures & videos!

Of course I LOVE the dancing to The Office song, he has great taste! I cracked up at the water park videos too - loved that he just pounded himself in the face with water! Hilarious!!

So Sam says to me..."I wish I could be there with Rohan (bubble video) he's a happy boy." And "I wish Thomas could be there too (splash pad video) then all my cousins would be there!" Needs some cousin time!!!!
