What to do in 104 degree heat

Ok, so my friend Michelle and I were in Savannah Georgia today. It was a whopping 104 degrees. We had been out in the heat for hours and decided to drive to the Mercer House for a tour. However we got a little distracted trying to stay cool in the car air conditioning. Here, let me show you what we did.....

Vacation Photos - Lots of them!

Last week we traveled to Osage Beach, MO. We stayed at the Lake of the Ozarks. We vacationed here last year and had a great time, so we decided to do it again this year. We took our boat and went skiing and tubing all week as well as some fishing, site-seeing, trying out all the local ice cream shops and skee-ball (Isaiah's favorite evening activity.) I'll share some of my favorite photos, I have some more on Dennis' computer that I'll share later. You might want to go get a Pepsi or your favorite beverage, your slippers and get comfy. There are alot of photos to see!

My favorite thing to do on the lake

An insane display of wealth...this is just a teaser of the awesome homes built on the lake. I have lots more on D's compter to share on another post.

A closer view, did you see the waterfalls?!

The boys chose the Ozark Bar-Be-Que resturant for lunch. We just pulled the boat right up and went in for some awesome bbq sandwiches.

Isaiah had bbq ribs

After we ate the boys got some free fish food and went down and fed the carp

The carp were delighted to see the boys coming and rushed to the shore to gobble up the food

What we're up to this week

We've been enjoying the boat everyday this week. Dennis bought the boys a new tube that all three kids can ride on together. This is a shot of Logan and Isaiah riding together.

Lots more pictures to come!

What I love about kids!

Water Toys! I love to buy water toys. Today Isaiah had a friend over to play and spend the night. I asked them if they would like to go to the store and pick out a slip-n-slide. It was a hot 92 degree day so of course they said YES! It was kind of hard getting good pictures due to the backlighting of the sun and the red and yellow reflections off the slip-n-slide. But I thought who cares, I just want to capture the fun!




Isaiah gets some air!

Seth gets more!
