Our friend Jessica recently took some pictures of a great storm down in Oklahoma, so when the clouds moved it around here the other night, Mom copied her great idea and headed out with the camera. As predicted, Mom and Dad e-mailed the pictures to Aunt Amy and she was on the phone to us in minutes! She sure loves stormwatching!
You can see in the picture above that we finished the outside of the playhouse, but here's a close up picture of it as well. Daddy really did a fantastic job! We love it!
Aunt Christie came to town this weekend to visit and we had such a fun time taking the boat out again (on a much nicer day too! Plus it was Jenna's big 14th birthday -- out here in South Dakota that means she gets to start driving!!!! Happy Birthday Jenna! We're so glad you came with us!). Even Christie's doggie Bo got to ride along! I'm pretty sure we could get a picture of Harrison and PaPa like this everytime we go boating....he just loves being on the boat and he just loves being with PaPa!
Saturday was supposed to be opening day at the swimming pool, but they postponed it until Sunday. Of course, we didn't find this out until after getting geared up and in our swimsuits and sunscreen. So we went with Plan B and pulled out the sprinkler when we got home and had a blast! I had the ingenious idea of pulling out my umbrella to keep from getting wet --- except Daddy kept foiling my plan and spraying the jets of water up into the umbrella -- what a silly guy!
Sunday, the pool opened up as promised. Harrison and I both jumped right in (much to Mom's dismay because she thought the water was FREEZING!). Luckily, our friend Avery was there to help us swim around too!
It was a perfect and fun-filled weekend. This week is Vacation Bible School. It's only Monday night and Mom is exhausted from organizing everything. Guess it didn't help that she had a sick little 4 year old on her hands today, but we managed to get through it and are hoping the week gets a little easier as we go along! We're keeping our sights set on our trip to Colorado to see Nona and Stacey next week -- we can't wait to see them and to see Jen, Kevin and Bobby too!
