Summer Fun!

Ok, so I really am going to finish Justin's story (promise!) But instead of getting further and further behind, I'm going to just try and keep things updated and add to his story when I can.

This was a great week! The summer is winding down, but we are still finding lots of fun things to do. We went to a great park last Thursday. It is kind'ave like being in the mountains without actually having to go up into the mountains. We went with our neighbors (the Hanks Family) across the street. They have 4 boys in their family, so we get along great! The boys all had fun exploring, and we even came across a trail that took us to a beautiful downhill stream.

We also had fun going boating not once, but twice this week! We stayed at Chad's folks cabin in Midway over the 24th of July weekend, then went boating with my parents and little brother on Monday the 25th. On Saturday we went back up to Deer Creek with the Hanks Family and with my family--this time my sis Briana and her husband T were able to come as well. We all had a great time. Ever since the Hank's moved in across the street last year, Tate has been asking them if he can "please, please, please! go on their boat someday." He was thrilled to finally have the chance. He was even brave and went on the tube behind the boat. His favorite part of the day was when Jared let him drive the boat. He took his job very seriously!

Tate is our little fish. He absolutely loves swimming. I think he would have tried swimming to the other side of the lake if we would have let him.

Max loved to sit at the front of the boat. He was content and happy! He just kept laughing and serenading us with "Little Ducky Dawdle" over and over. So cute!
