The boys headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house while Chris was working and I was at a retreat for work. They love being at the lake and always have so much fun! (So do we!) This was our last big "hoorah" before we get back into the routine of school.
The boys had fun at Kay and Karen's. They checked out their garden and picked some onions and tomatoes. We also spent one evening at their house for dinner and enjoyed yummy hamburgers and of course, an ice cream cone for dessert!
So many wildfires have been burning in our state this summer. This one started Saturday from lightning and spread quickly. We watched planes, big and small, dump water and fire retardant all day. Many structures were burned.
A part of every day (except for one day) was spent at the beach. The water was down so their was plenty of beaches to choose from and lots of running room. We had a brief sand fight after Colson picked up sand to throw at us during a series melt down. He ran up and down beach screaming. No one actually got hit with the sand, but it was fun to throw!
Cannon and Colson with Kay and Karen. Colson didn't really want to be sitting for a picture. (Wasn't his idea and we know he is stubborn!)
Both boys did quite a bit of drawing. Cannon spent a lot of time on one big picture for Chris and I. He gave it to use for our anniversary. LOVE it!
Another beach picture, but this time with the floaties. We all enjoyed floating around on them and the boys spent many hours hooking up ropes to them, pulling people around, floating, etc.
Here we are on the beach. This was our last day. We had a huge amount of beach to ourselves and it was amazing to relax, look out at the water, watch the boys play, walk & explore and just be together. Great day!
Colson became a fish this trip. He's figured out he can go anywhere and do anything with his life jacket on. He swam and floated and played and jumped and rode on the tube! The life of a 4 year old!
Enjoying every moment!
