Catch Up Post {long and full of pictures}

I just love summer time! It's the season that holds my most happiest memories from being little.  Early June we ventured to Inks Lake State Park to take the boys tent camping for their first time. It was exhausting getting everything gathered and packed, then unpacked and set up, but I'm so glad we went. The weather was perfect!

Adam got to spend lots of time fishing, and even caught a keeper we cooked in the campfire for dinner. The boys were so interested in all the gory details of cleaning the fish. They are truly ALL boy! We rented a canoe and took a stroll around the lake to see the infamous cliffs and divers. There were about 15-20 young highschool age boys jumping. I had visions of my two littles growing up and doing the same brave act while at the lake with their friends. Yikes! Please just remember to be careful.
Adam and I did very well rowing out and back, while the boys sat hunkered down between us with life vests up to their ears. It was a hoot! I was so glad to make it back to the bank without tiping over. Cooper was equally elated to just be back on solid ground.

Cooper and Corbin really enjoyed being outside all day playing with worms, chasing squirrels, and swimming in the lake. They were especially curious at bedtime with all the noises of the night. Cooper asked me to please make it stop.





Over July 4th we took a road trip to visit my brother and sister in law in west Texas. Then we spent another couple days visiting mom and step dad in Clovis, NM. Adam rigged up the Wii in the back seat and he and the boys played it for hours. It made the time go by so quickly for them. I didn't mind driving at all. It gave me something to do besides get sleepy riding all day.

Most Tuesday's we go to the library. I let the boys pick out two kid's videos and as many books as they I can carry. Cooper started picking Superman and Justice League videos. He loves all things superhero related.

Hard to believe this time next year I'll be sending my boys off to Kindergarten :( I miss will them so much! But I bet I find something to do with my free time ;)
