Bay house

We went to see the bay house this weekend, and had a nice day sitting by the water.

Labor Day weekend

We went to Canyon Lake for Labor Day weekend, and took the boat out to an island in the lake.  My parents dog Jamie had a lot of fun running around the island without a leash! 

Kyle had fun jumping off the back of the boat into the lake.

Don't worry, we didn't let him drive the whole time. 

Since we were in the area, we went to visit Memaw and my aunts at Lake Travis.  We got to go out on a boat there too!  We did a lot of swimming, and it was nice to see the family.

Fun weekend!

Summer adventures

Kyle and I have been reading Shakespeare stories, and as part of our studies we learned about stage fighting and made fake blood.  Kyle and Luke had a sword fight with the blood in the back yard.  Kyle is Macbeth, although he seems a little chipper for someone who has been stabbed. 

Of course Luke had to try it to, but he mostly thought it was gross and gooey.  We didn't get a picture because we had to clean up immediately! 

Kyle and Luke also decided to make lunch for me, without any assistance from me.  Here they are with our lunch of leftover enchiladas and smores.  Well, actually they're just graham crackers and chocolate, because we didn't have any marshmallows. 

They are sweet but very silly!

Out on the boat

We went out on the boat with Grampa when we visited this summer.

Max stayed on dry land with Grams this time.

Father's Day!

I just found these pictures when I was looking for something else, and I have to share the awesome crafts the boys made for Jeff.  He was out of town the week before father's day, so we made him a lot of crafts and then put them all together on one poster board for father's day.  It was really fun, and Kyle and Luke did a really good job making all the sea creatures.  Kyle especially is really good about helping his brother with the parts that are tricky.  I love to see them helping each other.  Here's the finished product:

As you can tell, I found a website that has a lot of neat paper plate crafts.
