I have seven year old twins.
Coincidentally, while we were swimming/going down water slides, my section of Michigan was hit by flooding and record rainstorms!

(Our house escaped any damage, although lots of good friends are dealing with flooded basements and associated clean-up.)
you know the drill 
We stopped at "Cops & Doughnuts" and took mugshots of the kids. http://www.copsdoughnuts.com
My daughter was arrested as a "Future Mankiller" (totally justified - she's adorable) while my son went down for making "Fart Music" which was driving his daddy CRAZY, but kept cracking up the boy child. I chose to be amused.
The baker woman assured me there would be no evidence of any of my crimes against my waist line, so let's just say I helped myself to a suitable sampling of their offerings.
The Monster Cream Puff, the cookies, the Cinammon Roll, the chocolate covered doughnuts with sprinkles - my family was happy!
Also, very cute story about nine police officers saving a hundred year old bakery from going out of business....
