Water Fun

What is summer without some cool refreshing WATER?
Yesterday we went to a pool party at my BIL's parents' home! There were 4 families, and boy did we all have a great time...children and adults! Pool fun and a cookout...screams SUMMER to me!
The older girls (Emily on cousin Megan and friend Morgan). The younger girls (Laney and cousin Madison). Go, Laney, go! My 4 year old is just learning to swim! Sweet Henry enjoyed the water, but definitely enjoyed snacking so much more! YUM! All of the kiddos were in bed 15 minutes after we arrived at home...exhausted from such FUN!
Today we spent some time at home. Our future basketball pad was just paved last week! Progress! While the kiddos and I were enjoying some outside time.......Jon arrived in OLD BLUE! Time to mulch! Old Blue is one of his dad's farm trucks. Jon wanted to take the girls for a ride in it, but NO...I'm not into letting my children ride in a truck that has holes in the bottom...so you can see the ROAD as you ride along! Ha!
Later this afternoon we all went over to my parents' home for a little family reunion. My dad is one of 8 and 4 of his siblings were home visiting...along with my grandparents and cousins! Em loved her hand me down bikes from some cousins! The bikes will stay at Mimi and Papa's home! My wonderful grill master! And his little sidekick! Peek-a-boo! Laney was checking out boaters along the water! And water....Jon and I took out my parents' kayaks and it was pure BLISS! Of course I don't have any pictures!
Right before we came home, dear Laney slipped and hit her head on concrete! She had a goose egg, so.... tonight, Dr. Jon wrapped it up in ice. Big sister Emily read her stories....so sweet! She is feeling fine, but we are watching her and will continue to do so throughout the night.
What a fun, fun water weekend!

  1. Well why not let them ride in the truck- they could stick out their legs like the flintstones :) !

  3. Poor little Laney! Hope she feels better soon and is able to get right back into the pool - she is really taking to the water! Love "Old Blue" - my parents still have their old farm truck that is a 1983 Ford, with a hole in the floor, except it is not blue but baby-poop brown. Not the most attractive vehicle you've ever seen but it is good for hauling mulch!
