Cannonball
Hi Gang!
Happy Weekend everyone!
Can you believe it? The summer is dwindling down and slipping away..
We were tying up some last family type things before the first week of school.
Last week Mom’s work had another great Family / Employee appreciation day. Her company always does a great job in making a nice outing on a Saturday. So we got all dressed up for the event.
The day was filled with fun; fun video games, fun with waterslides…
Even fun with a Talent Competition….
We had to cool down with a great Sno Ball, ahh, Sno Cone
Now when I was a kid peddling sno balls with my friend in our wagon we never gave out straws with the sno balls. Here, Skye just heads right for the syrup with her straw. If we would have handed out straws when I was a kid we could have charged for refills or had a lot more business!
The following Sunday we decided to cool off in the pool with one of our ‘soon to be famous’ Cannonball Competitions!
We had a lot of fun splashing the water out of the pool.
Yes, the pool. It’s been a long hard fight (working with contractors is a nightmare!) to get this pool up and running this summer. But it’s finally ready to use and enjoy.
She’s waited a long time for her pool…and her magic carpet ride
It looks like the pool is finally coming alive. And this is one of my favorite retreats now at night…
Hiding beneath the water, watching the cascading lights on both the floor of the pool and the ceiling of the water. Swimming peacefully alone at night has been such an escape; refreshing, relaxing and rewarding. If you are looking for me after dark (and the kids go are in bed) you might find me here.
Monday then was the first day of school! Yayyyy!
Dylan was ready……
Her ‘Bunny’ travels everywhere with her evidently..
Poor Skylar had a fever of 104 though and sat out her two first days. But after several trips to the doctors we got her feeling better and with that fun smile on her face.
Happy first day of Kindergarten Skylar!
And YOUR beginning of a great scholastic career too!
Only 16 more years till I can retire…..
Happy Weekend everyone!
Don’t forget to dance and have fun like no one is watching!
