Water Gun Time

The boys won a reward-

the reward?

Squirting Dad with squirt guns for 1 whole minute.

I think THAT was the longest minute of his life! 

-But the boys had the time of theirs! 

The Dad at our house is a Good Sport! 

I love this Picture

On a Saturday morning,

while I was working on cleaning the garage,

(Dad and Eldest Boy were at Scout Camp)

these two brothers spent the morning

riding around and around in our Cul-de-sac.

I saw them lay down in the shade of our neighbor's tree,

and they were just laying there-

catching their breath,

cooling off in the shade,

and just talking and chilling with each other.

I snuck up on them and took this picture.

I love the Brother-ness here.

I had made a tin foil dinner

for our oldest boy to take to 

overnight Scout Camp-

And I made some for 

the rest of the gang, too.

We grilled them,

then ate them, sitting on our trampoline.

I received an Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!
