Last slice of summer

I remember back in my school days, and in my mind it's not nearly as long ago as the actual years suggest, when summer wasn't over and school didn't start until after Labor day. My little one has never known that to be the case and figured her summer officially ended Aug. 25th. Luckily for her, Mike, Jen and the boys came to visit us of the holiday weekend, and we got in one last bit of summer fun!!!

The big boys (Mike, Joe and Cody) played golf and then went to watch the OU/BYU game at Cowboys stadium on Sat. I think Cody had a great time...the other two were a little (that's an understatement for Joe at least) disappointed with the outcome of the game. Jen and I got in some shopping and then rewarded our two little ones with Mr. Gatti's and a movie for making it through the day with us.

Sunday was Jaden's favorite day of the visit because A - no shopping and B- we got to go to the lake. She loves the lake or anything water related, and Mike's fantasy football draft was out at the lake this year. Plus as an extra bonus he had a friend who was bringing a jet ski and tube. Here are a few pictures of our day out at the lake (Joe was still mourning the OU loss so didn't come with us).

We were the first to arive, so the kids had to entertain themselves until the jet ski arived. They did a lot of swimming and floating around.

Cody helped teach J to skip rocks.

Jaden and Caden tried thier hands at sand volleyball.

It was hard so they decided to just play in the sand instead.

Then they had to get cleaned up!!!

Here is Jaden pulling the tube back on shore after an afternoon of riding behind the jet ski. They had loads of fun. A big thanks to Jen for getting on and pulling them around all afternoon!!!

Peace out from J on the jet ski...luckily nobody actually let her drive!!!

And that's it from our day at the lake...walking out of the water for the last time. I guess we're ready to see what fall has in store for us.
