{Pontoon}

Brady's favorite song right now in pictures. The kids love camping with Papa and Grandma.

Pontoon

Back this hitch up into the water

Untie all the cables and rope

Step onto the astro turf

Get yourself a coozie

Let's go...



Who said anything about skiin'?

Floatin' is all I wanna do

You can climb the ladder

Just don't rock the boat while I barbeque

On the pontoon

Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof

Jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to

Party in slow motion

Out here in the open

Mmmmmmm...motorboatin'

5 mile an hour with aluminum side

Wood panelin' with a water slide

Can't beat the heat, so let's take a ride

On the pontoon

{swimranch}

Year two at Swimranch for Brady and Paige. This year they were both in Lane 1 together. Paige advanced very easily to Lane 2 next year. This is great because I think Brady didn't like having her in his Lane!

{Batman}

Brady turned 4 while we were on vacation so we celebrated when we got back to town. It's always great when we can celebrate with the Lightner's too!

A boy can never be too prepared!

{Cape San Blas}

Oh vacation...how I miss you right about NOW!

We ventured further east on 30A in Florida to a quiet little place called Cape San Blas. The water wasn't as blue, but it was amazingly quiet, the beaches were reneagade like - you could drive on them, have bonfires, weren't groomed, lots of seashells, you get the idea. We spent a week there and this is probably the first vacation where the time actually crawled. Amazing.

And now I leave you with lots of pictures. Enjoy or close your browser now. :)

Yeah, that's right...not a person in sight.

(tball}

Our lefty, Paige, made her tball debut this summer. Way down deep, Dane probably wishes that Brady would have been our lefty, but nonetheless it's Paige. She's fun to watch play! I think we only had 1 on the field melt-down and she did hit a home run. I know, not that difficult in tball but she still had to round the bases! :) Dane and a good friend of ours coached. It was confirmed though that I probably shouldn't coach - I lack some patience skills that are required.
