summer highlights

We had to wait a long time for summer to finally get here but July's sun and heat has definately made up for the cloudy, rainy June.  We have had a blast getting out on the lake any chance we can.  Here are some pictures of our summer so far.

Watching fireworks on the lake. 


Scott ran the Firecracker 10K race again.  There's a slip and slide to go on after you cross the finish line.  The kids loved watching him go on that.

And he beat his time last year by 3 minutes!

Trac Ball in the lake is the favorite game this summer.

And she still loves to play Polly Pockets.

Sporting the sunglasses Elle found in the lake and gave to him.  A very nice early birthday present for him and one that was much appreciated after he jumped in the lake last month in the deep water with his pair on and lost them. 

She is reading through A Series of Unfortunate Events this summer. 

Scott tried wakesurfing with a friend this weekend and was hooked.  We bought a board the next day and both he and Thomas can just pop right up on it and go. 


This is me wakesurfing.  After about 20 attempts I still have yet to make it up.  :)

This is a short video of Thomas.
