Adventure Day!!!

Tuesday we had an "Adventure Day"

I am trying really hard to stay home and do things with the kids there (bc its cheap :) but somtimes you've gotta get out of the house! With all the Disney excitement I know an Adventure day would have to take place this week! Todd was off so we decided to go for it!

We loaded up the kids and didn't tell them where we were going. (thats always fun!)

We took them 45 minutes to Vicksburg, MS to the splash pad and park.
 {{insert: Yes we have splash pads closer to our house but I wanted something different!}}

They LOVED IT! They played for hours. The ambience there is really nice. They have fun music playing, when we arrived there was a Disney tune on! After a few hours of running and jumping we took a walk down to the river front to view the murals built on the Levee wall. They kids adored getting to see this HUGE paintings up close.

Of course, when at the river you have to view the Mighty Mississippi upclose.

After our walk, we headed to the car and took a drive across the Mississippi bridge into Lousiana! We stopped at the rest stop to have a picnic lunch and the kids collected information on Lousiana.

We road around some of the smaller towns in that area then headed back to the hospitality state.

We had one more "stop" on the adventure. We headed up to visit one of the canons used during the civil war. Gavin's quote was "It is as big as my head..."

Once we got home-we dressed up as pirates & princesses and took our adventure outdoors for some fun at the "jolly roger play ground"

All in all-it was  a really fun day!
