More fishing and dock pool time

Reed's pool on the dock, which we fill up with warm water from the faucet in the kitchen.

When Theo and Beckett get cold swimming in the lake they end up in the warm pool with Reed.

Dinner with the Parkeses! Karen helped the big boys procure the supplies for a track for their cars down a step, which kept them enthralled and busy for a long time.

Flips

The kids have been doing gymnastics once a week at a gym near our house. They love the class and it looks like they are goofing off most of the time but they are getting better at all the exercises and love practicing them at home, especially in the bounce house.

Birthday dinner with Jody and Rudy

Friends Jody and Rudy had us over for dinner last weekend and the kids loved doing cartwheels and playing soccer and climbing trees in their beautiful big backyard.

More fun with goofballs at the lake

We like to fill up Reed's pool with warm water so he can hang in the shade in the water.

Mama's birthday Part II

Thursday on my actual birthday I took the boys to Thunder Island, a small water park nearby. It was small enough that after an hour or so the boys were familiar enough that they could have the run of the place, and I could hang with Reed in the kiddie pool. The boys weren't quite tall enough for the biggest slide in the park, but everything else was wide open. It was a beautiful day and I guess because it was a weekday, it wasn't very crowded so there were minimal or no waits for the rides.
