Same Boat, New Pond

We took Micah's RC motorboat out for another spin today.  Since Papa and Mama's pond belongs to the new homeowners, we headed over to a small body of water off a nearby walking trail close to our house.  As the older ones handled the remote, Noah was glued to the speedboat's every move. :-)

What a Lovely Start to July

Last week was jam-packed with lots to do and celebrate - anniversary, birthday, national holiday, a 4-day weekend with Scotty (woo-hoo!!!).  LOTS to thank God for in regards to family and good times together.  Here are some snapshots from our wonderful "staycation."

7yrs of marriage - enjoyed Olive Garden take-out after the kids went to bed.

Our "baby" is 1yr old!

Oohing and ahhing over some colored smoke balls on the 4th.

Noah observing with his "rabbit" face (scrunched up nose)

Getting a sparkler in before bedtime (in PJs already)!

Ohhing and ahhing over the big and bright ones!

Papa and Mama were here for the night show.

U of N attire Papa flew in with for the tikes :-)

Enjoying the hotel pool where Papa and Mama stayed.

Micah was an absolute fish!

Noah's "rabbit" face yet again. ;-)

Cherry picking on the weekend - YUM!

Joy's rarely made it in the bucket - but straight to her mouth.

About a 1-mile walk to a beach front after cherry-picking.

Hmmm - rabbit or porcupine?

Micah being brave going farther out with daddy.

Joy loved "jumpin' in the lake"

Everyone except Noah got "buried" - Joy was first!

An absolute sand crab by the time we left!

Burying big brother was mighty fun. ;-)
