Pool Fun

The kids LOVE it when we get out the inflatable pool :)

I don't mind, but it is a pain when I have to take it down because I won't have it up for the daycare kids, there are way too many rules.

But the love it when we do have it out :)

I am glad they have so much fun! :)

The Moon

The moon is so beautiful! I love the full moon!

Bow Hunting Practice

My boys have been into hunting in general lately. So they were excited when dad said they could bow hunt :) They used a milk jug as a target. And they were really good at it too!

Both poised and ready to go! (I did this for the photo, they don't go at the same time)

Jake got his through the lid part!!


Josh did really good!! I am glad they enjoy doing things like this!

HE IS 9!!

The time has flown by!! I can't believe he is nine today!! Where has the time gone! But anyways, I am so proud of my boy, who is growing into a young man. He is a wonderful kid! I am so blessed to have him!

Swimming

My kids love to go to the pool, but we don't get there too often. But when we do, the have a ton of fun! Mark got to go with us too, so that was an extra bonus!

Alyssah likes to cool us off, by pooring water on our legs. She loves to do it!

During break time. Josh's friend Isaac came there, and they were all talking.

Playing catch in the pool

All smiles :)

So happy to be swimming! :)

Tubing!

We love our new tube!! It is really fun to go on!

The boys loved it!!

I went on it for a while too, Alyssah loved it, but didn't like the water in her face.

This picture is less that flattering of me, but I LOVE how Alyssah looks!

The 3 of them went together, they had a blast!

Swimming in the lake is always so much fun!

I am so glad we got this, more family time fun!

Washington DC highlights Day 8

Going home!! We all were ready to head home!

Alyssah all ready to go! She has her new toys too!

Josh and Jake all ready! They were in the last row of the plane too, Mark said it was noisy. The boys watched tv on the tv's they had from the ceiling.

A wonderful trip and I am soooo thankful we got to go!!



The clouds heading into the cities, Alyssah said it was like a big blanket!

Washington DC Highlights Day 7

Today we went to the National Archives and we toured the capital.

We weren't allowed to take pictures, so I got this one online. This is the rotunta, it had the original Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independance and the Constitution. It was amazing to see it, considering they are all over 200 years old!!

This is another pic I got online, but this is exactly how it looks.

The kids waiting for a movie to start

Inside the capital. Really cool art work in there. So worth seeing.

The hall of statues. It was cool to see.

Our last full day in Washington DC. We are all excited to get home, but we loved being able to go here! I am glad the kids got to see some really historical things!!
