A day (and night) at Lakeview

Camping is hard with kids. You seem to need a lot of stuff. Add in tons of water, snakes, snails, frogs, BUGS, and all of that kind of stuff, you need a lot MORE stuff, like sprays, nets, buckets, cages, and lifejackets. (I know I'm forgetting something?!) Roll it all up into one overnight trip and you have a lot of fun memories...

You may or may not know that my husband is an intense and talented water skier.Best friends are we, my sister and me...
No holds barred when it came to making his first mud (and gravel!) pies...
"If you train up a child..."
Perhaps that is a little out of context, so how about, "like father like son?"
(I especially love this last picture!)
Taking a little walk...looking for butterflies and snails.
Let us introduce you to "Toasty," the resident toad.
"Maybe he'll turn into a prince?!"

Will's first tube ride.
The water was a balmy 80+ degrees, perfect for lounging around.





It may look tranquil, but there is still cell coverage!

All-American Boy






Independence Day

Not sure how Keelan ended up with someone 1/2 his age...but they looked cute together!
Gotta love the sack races!
No, we were not at the beach.
I think she is going to need a permit to carry that.

Misc. Summer Pix

Swimming lessons...
Summer colds and ear infections kept us at home for a couple of days.
I just can't resist this face, even when its covered in tomato sauce!
My very own "A River Runs Through It."
The love they have for one another...its priceless!
