Boating

It has been warm around here lately, as it has been in many places.  Our summer is moving along all too quickly, and I am not really ready for school to be approaching so quickly.  I just have so many other things I would still like to do with the kids.  There simply isn't enough time.  Although we won't be able to do it all, we are enjoying the things we DO get to do. 

This is something we have been doing PLENTY of:

The kids enjoy the boat and tubing, and simply being on the water.  Daddy also enjoys it with them...sometimes I think he enjoys it even more than they do!  So, we have been grilling out, packing plenty of picnic meals, gathering up the beach towels and sand toys, and spending our days on the water.  ...a pretty good way to spend a hot day!

God's Handiwork

Driving home from a day on the water and celebrating a birthday and an anniversary with family, this is the sunset we were blessed with!  I realize the photo quality is very poor and it really does no justice to the beauty of the sky.  Regardless, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!  I think we all need to slow down and take note of things like this more often.
