As the summer was coming to a close, there was one major activity we still hadn't yet checked off our list - Kaitlynn's long overdue visit with Anais! With some schedule shuffling and last minute planning, we managed to squeeze in a fun visit just in the nick of time. On the very last couple of days of the summer, the girls met up to enjoy such much-needed together time. They were all smiles in their summer hats when first meeting up, and Kaitlynn was so excited to open her belated birthday gift to kick off the fun.
The first stop on our Kaitlynn/Anais weekend of fun was a quick shopping trip in La Centerra, where Kaitlynn wanted to surprise Anais with a gift as well. They loved looking around and then picked their favorite necklaces - a fun splurge to enjoy for them both! After our shopping, we stopped for some food and then headed back home.
Kaitlynn and Anais were both in the process of trying out for their school volleyball teams, so they took advantage of the backyard "court" setup and worked on their serves, sets, and spikes. These two - they just have so much fun no matter what the activity!
It was a hot summer afternoon and the girls wore themselves out playing volleyball, so naturally their next activity involved water. They started with water balloons on the trampoline and quickly moved to their all-time favorite - swimming and choreographed dances in the pool. Just look at those huge smiles! It's such a joy seeing how much fun they have together. By the end of the day, they were exhausted and happy to relax with some screen time.
The next morning brought the highlight of the visit for the girls. Kaitlynn had long been planning a visit to the waterpark as part of her June birthday celebration, and it had been postponed due to an unexpected bout of Covid in our household. Now in mid-August, the girls were finally able to go to Typhoon Texas, and they were THRILLED to get fast passes for the day to maximize the fun. They ended up staying all.day.long and had the most amazing, fun day together. By the time they were ready to come home, they were completely wiped out and ready to shower and pass out for the night. Or so I thought...
They managed to catch a second wind, because we later found them outside playing more volleyball and basketball. Oh, to have the energy of a kid! The next morning, they were back at it, this time with their usual visit to the Altitude trampoline park. After 2 hours of nonstop jumping and dodgeball, the fun had sadly come to an end. As with every visit together, they were bummed for their visit to end but so happy to have had another amazing time together before the chaos of the new school year kicked in. Until next time!
