Half Lake Day

The big kids are off at FSY this week, but the Littles will still play, and play we did.  We went to Iola Lake this time.  The breeze on the lake made it such an absolutely lovely and relaxing day.

 

Baseball Camp

The boys have been attending baseball camp at the J this week.  Today was a scorcher, so we went and got slushies to celebrate the end of camp.  BB also had a fabulous game last night.  He got his first ever triple, and they won in a walkoff.  It was pretty exciting.  

You know it's been a good game when your uniform looks like this!

Church News

 My mom was in Church News this week.  Elder Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was visiting Chile, and he visited my mom's mission.  Elder Anderson and my mom served together as young missionaries in Fukuoka, Japan, and he also came to visit New York when my dad was the Stake President.  They had a wonderful reunion.  

 

Falling Apart

My younger boys are rough and tumble pretty much all the time.  They leave a trail of broken and battered things where ever they go.  Their bunk bed completely fell apart, so we decided just to put their mattresses on the floor for now.  They since jump and crash on all the furniture no matter how many times we tell them not to, so I wasn't going to risk buying more furniture for them to ruin.  This week their door finally met its maker.  It was splitting up the side, because of how hard they slam it, and it finally came completely off.  They are now without a door.  I'll put a new one on when they leave for college. We won't mention all the holes in the wall. Sigh.

Sunday School

 These boys are so much fun.  I'm so glad Little Man has such a great group of friends at church.  

Lake Day!

We finally had our first lake day yesterday!  We look forward to it every year.  We started at Hillsdale State Park.  There was almost no beach, because the lake is so high right now.  We've had a ton of rain this season.  It made it rather convenient that we could be under the shade of the tree that's usually far away from the water.  

Lake day, we love you!

Lily pads

We've had some lovely walks this week.  I'm so glad the we didn't miss the blooming flowers on the lily pads this year.  They only last for a few short weeks each year.  

High Adventure

BB and Little Man headed to Clinton Lake this week for sailing, shooting, paint ball, and ended the week at the temple.  They had a great time!  It turns out BB is quite the sharp shooter (he's got some battle wounds to show for it as well).
