ALL THE PLACES WE'VE BEEN!!
It is time to play catch up from this summer! Of course the summer has flown by, as it always does! I left off when we were gearing up to go camping with Grandma and Grandpa at Lake Pleasant in their trailer. We had a blast! We did a lot of water play; Dave, Eli, and I all water skiid,Gregory and Nathan were pulled on the tube....slowly.....with me:) Jacob enjoyed the boat rides and seeing the ducks. We did a lot of swimming in the lake and at the resort pool. Eli and I both did some fishing with Grandpa......Eli caught 3, and I caught 1. It was so nice in the trailer. We would come off of the lake, in the heat of the day:the AC, the lazy boy chair, and a good movie was such a nice touch!
The first week of August, we went for some rustic camping in Flagstaff. We did the tent camping in the middle of the pines; it was so beautiful! It was such a nice break from the HEAT! The boys had a great time riding bikes, and making friends around the campground. We took our inflatable boat, and did some rowing, and water play at Lake Mary. We took nature walks, and went hiking in the nearby areas. We were able to have campfires everyday, and had some yummy s'mores. It is monsoon season, so we did have some rain and thunderstorms, but that added to the fun. One night, we even heard coyotes howling/laughing in the woods....that was a bit scary!
We had such a wonderful summer......we have so many blessings to be thankful for!
BACK TO SCHOOL.....As of the 11th, Eli & Gregory are back in school Eli's in 5th, and Gregory's in 1st grade. Thus far, they are enjoying school, and making some nice new friends, and are enjoying seeing their friends from last year too. Nathan has started his preschool curriculum at home, and can't wait to start school next year! He misses Eli and Gregory,but enjoys entertaining Jacob! Jacob is full of words these days; he's added to his list of words: night night, hi daddy, and mamma mamma....too cute!
So that's what we've been up to, and now that we're back to the swing of things, I'll be updating this more often!
Pics will be coming soon!
