this last sunday, we had lots of fun out on spirit lake with our friends. it was REALLY hot and humid, but it was perfect for the lake! I could have used last year's shot of the boys.....they still look the same from the boat, it is just when they stand up that you can really tell the difference! :)

here are some favorite shots of the day...

john and his goggles....keeps all that water out on the tube



ashton loved the leisurely tube ride...



while the boys liked it a little rougher and faster!



this was Ashton's favorite place on the boat...soaking up the sun!



what is your favorite way to beat the heat?

softball, softball, softball, softball, softball!

saturday, we watched FIVE games of softball. it was THE absolute best day for softball-80 degrees, the occasional (although the last game it was not as frequent as we would have liked...) breeze, and sunny skies! here are some shots for you to enjoy!
