Photo update

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about our new found "Family Fun Day" tradition. I stated that since it was summer most of our activities included water in some way or another. Well, here are some photos from a recent extended "Family Fun Day!" On this particular trip to the water park we had a few guests with us; Jim and I got to bring my sister, Hailey 5 (yes I said sister, but that is a blog entry of its own), my nephew "baby Johnny" 10 months, and Noah Moberly 5 (Aodhan's best friend)! It was interesting having 6 kids at the water park! We got a couple of weird looks, and even a few comments on how we were crazy to have that many kids that close together (they all could pass for belonging to Jim and I - Hailey is the only one who looks slightly different and she could still pass for looking like Jim.) Once we explained that they did not all belong to us, we were told that made us even crazier! But Jim and I really enjoy having the kids around, and six kids at a water park sounds like fun to us. Sometimes I am surprised that we stopped at 3 kids, glad, but surprised! I could see us being one of those huge Irish families with 7 or 8 kids and enjoying it! Jim is just amazing with the kids (I think it is because he is on the same level as most of them) he never fails to impress them ! When I watch him with the kids I fall more in love with him than I already am, he is the greatest Dad in the world! He is always the dad that is ready to jump right in, to play whatever crazy game they have come up with, to wrestle around with them, and to just love them with all he has. Watching him sometimes I choke up; a little jealous of my kids (I never had that experience with my father) but so glad that they have a strong, amazing, incredible, fiercely dedicated dad. I wish that every child was as lucky as mine, I wish that every child had a dad as awesome as Jim, I thank God everyday for giving our family such an incredible man!!! Maybe one day we will follow in the Moberly's footsteps and look into adoption, who knows ! Wow, this was just supposed to be a brief introduction to some pictures, so here they are
