July proved to be a "wet" month. And that's a good thing!
We started the month with a long weekend up at Uncle Noley's cabin for the 4th of July.
There were water fights and fireworks.
There was fire-building.
And super yummy smores!
We spent some long afternoons in our backyard playing on our water slide.
And then we spent a relaxing and really fun week in Arizona at our Unky and Aunt's house.
Our first day was a cousin-day. Some of our cousins who live in Arizona came over for some fun in the river with us.
Sam is a pro on the paddle board.
We did some rowing.
And then we tied all the boats, tubes, and boards together for a paddle down river.
The rest of the week we spent on the lake. Our days consisted of the same, wonderful agenda every day.
1. Sleep in
2. Wake up late and have some breakfast at the house
3. Load up the stuff and make the short drive to the lake
4. Load the boat and apply sunscreen
5. Drive the boat to a great beach
6. Beach the boat and unload the toys
7. PLAY and eat
8. Ride the tube behind the boat
9. Drive the boat to Gasoline Alley for some jumping and playing
10. Dock the boat and clean up
11. Stop for a yummy dinner in town
12. Sleep and repeat!
Our wildlife visitors were a family of donkeys - they were really really fun to hang out with on our beach.
We love spending time at the lake with Carl and Francine!
We spent the last week of the month helping dad set up his new classroom. Don't even talk about the fact that school will be starting soon . . . . ooops, we just did!
