Splash Island

We seem to be getting in as much water fun as possible these last few weekends of summer. Today, we headed up to Plainfield for Splash Island with my sister and mom. Later on in the evening, everyone but Bobby and my dad went out to dinner at Mesh on Mass Ave. for Devour Downtown. It was a very busy but fun day!

We had a lot of fun at Splash Island. The water was cold, but it was a sunny and warm day. We stayed from about 10:30-2.

Bobby's cannonball

This is how Bobby teaches our girls to swim...just drags them along, poor Aubrey!

For Devour Downtown, we decided to try out Mesh, which was really good and had great service. I would definitely return. Luckily, the girls were good, so taking them to a nicer restaurant didn't go as disastrous as I thought it might! Both girls ate a good dinner.

Afterwards, we walked up and down Mass Ave which has a very eclectic group of people. It is known as the arts district and has lots of restaurants and theaters.  It also has the Flying Cupcake that is Amanda's favorite. Although I didn't get one there, they looked yummy! Natalie came home with a Pretty in Pink cupcake so she'll get to try that out tomorrow. There were magicians, fire people, and just all kinds of entertainment going on. It was a fun night to walk around and take in the sites.
