July 09

Random summer events. It's been a busy summer!

4th of July we went to Dad & Mom's house for a BBQ. The kids played on the slip 'n slide, swam, and did sparklers.




This is totally a random picture, but I love these little feet...and the fact that she's actually taking a nap in this picture. She's quickly out growing her naps.

Last week, Lesley, Sarah, Heather, all the kids, and I went fruit picking. We ended up with about 100 pounds of apricots and peaches. That translates to a heck of a lot of peach and apricot jam. Yum!


Tubing is always a favorite lake activity.
Rob and the kids hopped on the tub while we were slowly moving the houseboat from one cove to another. They started wrestling and having a great time. Allie was so excited, she started jumping on the tube. She took about two bounces, then bounced over the headrest, off the back of the tub, and into the lake. Rob immediately jumped in after her and I jumped on with the rest of the kids. She really wasn't bothered by her unexpected swim in the lake. I just wish I'd gotten it on video.

Maddie loves feeding the ducks at the lake.



These puddle jumpers are great for the little ones learning to swim. Allie loves hers and I think it helped give Maddie the confidence she needed to enjoy the lake.
