Summer Fun

We spent a lot of time in various forms of water this summer.  Here are some pictures:

At Aunt M's pool...

 

 

 

 

 

At the lake.  Some friends invited us to the lake on their boat.  The kids had a blast being towed behind the boat on tubes!

I Will Survive...for homeschool Moms

I just have to post the link to this song!  It is "I will Survive" for homeschoolers and it is great.  It is on YouTube.  I had read the words before, but seeing pictures to go with it is great, and just what I needed this morning!

I Will Survive

 Here's another one:

Back to school!

We started school on Aug. 11.  Though we kept our afternoons free for things like friends and swimming.  Afterall, it is still in the 90's, so summer is still here. It just makes life a little busier.  I have a fun post of our summer adventures coming up, but I have been busy with planning the school year, and watching the olympics, and going here and there to keep cool.  And today we are going camping at the beach where it will be in 60's!  Not exactly swimming weather, but it will be so nice to get out of the heat for a few days.  We will come back on Sunday, and hit the books full force on Monday.  The Olympics will be over, so I will have more time to read the great books I am trying to finish, and post pictures on my blog.

Life is full. :)

I have decided to pick  nicknames for all of us, for privacy, and so I don't have to write "13yod" etc.
