Hamilton

 To break up the monotony of summertime, I'd take the kids to Hamilton Pool.

 It's cheap and allows the boys to play outside - something unheard of in Arizona in the summer.

 Evan finally learned to swim and navigate the water slides there.  He was so proud of himself!

 Christy's family joined us - we had a blast racing our boys down the slides.

Good times.

Day 3

Last night the boys decided they wanted to go to Hamilton Pool today. Well, my work schedule kinda got funky, but luckily we were still able to pull it off. It was packed.

That's Michael (still wearing the wife beater) by Josh.

Xander is going through this charming phase where he HATES for me to take his picture.

Evan doesn't mind though :)
Ben loves the water slides there. He went down until the very last minute when we left.

I was amazed that Xander went that long without his phone. As soon as he dried off he pulled it out.

I love this face. It's classic Evan.

Notice Max's other front tooth is coming in!! Halla-freakin'-luah!
I'm glad we went - it wore everyone out. Also, it made me realize that all the boys (but especially Ben) need new swimsuits.
