Celebrating at the Beach

 

The Saturday before fathers day we took the whole family (plus Renee’) out to Lake of the Pines to celebrate in the sand & sun.

     

Covered in sand we then made are way out to the water to cool off a bit.

    

Donaven & Renee got pretty adventurous and swam quite a distance out from the beach.

 

But don’t worry Brandon was close by keeping an eye on everything.

 

When we first got to the lake the weather was perfect. Blue skies and beautiful!

 

After a few hours these ominous thunder clouds rolled in and it started lightning so we rounded everyone up and headed to the car.

Even though it was cut short we still had a fabulous time hanging out at the beach together!

Grammy's Pool Party

Brandon's mother Susan, affectionately known as Grammy, closed on her new house today. She celebrated by inviting friends and family over for a pool party. When we drove up Donaven was so excited he exclaimed, "Mommy look a new house, a new playground, (gasp for air) A NEW POOL!!!"

Needless to say, it was a bit difficult getting him to wait until we had his life jacket safely on before jumping in.

Her pool has a nice attached sitting area just right for getting little ones acclimated to the water. It didn't take Donaven long to get really brave and try swimming out all on his own. He was all over the pool loving every minute.



Emerson enjoyed it as well, riding on floats with Daddy, and trying out his new racer with Mommy.

It was really nice having something the whole family could enjoy together. Thanks for having us Grammy. I'm sure we will back for much more fun in the sun!
