Finally Cody gets to bring a friend, Justin!!
Yes that is Beth that you see in the background. She actually got in the water and swam around.. Again nothing short of a miracle that she is in there.. ha!
I think they had more fun swimming in the water than tubing this time.
You are going to hear a lot about us boating. It's the one thing we do all summer long...
Colton brought his friend Mason this time.
Cody found a huge log in the water. So we had him pick it up so we could take it to the side.
Aaron took the boat for a spin to see how fast it would go if there was no extra weight.
While we were waiting for Aaron the kids were jumping off of the dock.
Mason got a little beat up on a couple of runs. But he did great. The kids had a blast!
We went boating today. We actually got Beth out on the tube.
This was before we started moving.
This was after...needless to say she isn't a huge fan of going fast..
We stopped along the way and let the kids swim.
Beautiful day for tubing!
Today we went to the annual AgStar sponsered Honkers baseball game. They are our local baseball team.
Before the game they had a guest apperaance by none other than Whiplash the "Cowboy Monkey".
This monkey was amazing! He has been all over the U.S. and on T.V. shows. He looks like a rag doll when the dog runs. It's hilarious. It's hard not to laugh histeracly. Not to mention he is darn cute! While on the dog he herded some sheep. It was awesome!
We had several free tickets. So we Colton and Cody invited some friends. We also invited some friends.
Beth had to meet Slider.
These are our friends Tare and Darin with their son Aiden.
Cody caught a ball!
After the game we made a stop at Cold Stone. Oh so yummy!
Super fun night out!
Yesterday Cody and Beth came home from their visit to Colorado! Colton, Aaron and I blew up a ton of balloons for a surprise!!
Today we celebrate Freedom!!
We are so excited!! Grandma Gail and Grandpa Bill are here for a visit!!!
Also Grandpa Ray and Grandma Julia are visiting!!
We were dissapointed because it rained most of the day. So we weren't able to enjoy the festivities that Stewartville offers. However it stopped in time for the parade!
Last year Colton caught a Geek Squad shirt that was thrown out. This year Cody caught it!
After the parade I got the kids some silly string to play with.
Beth got it good!
Later we had a fire while we were waiting for the fireworks to start.
What's a fire without smores! Is this the biggest marshmallow you have ever seen or what!! If ound them in the grocery store and just had to get them. They were giant! The one of the left is a normal size one.
Mr. Patriotic.
Finally 10:30pm it's Fireworks time!!
Can't have 4th of July without having some of your own. Unfortanately we can't get really good ones around here.. But we can still have some little ones.
WE had a fun day with Grandparents!! It was so great to have family here.
Aaron got the boat working (after the towing incident when my Mom was visiting)!!!
Colton brough his friend Caleb.
This is so funny. Those are Calebs legs, looks like Colton's.
We saw a Bald Eagle.
Here is a black male picture.. hehehe... (don't think when they are in HS they will want others to see them clinging onto each other. ha!)
After all the fun, they decided they were done. (they were cold)
We had a really great time and I just think it's so fun and hilarious to watch the kids out there bouncing all around.
