Out on the lake

We have had a fun week. We have really enjoyed having Kai, Kannon, & Jace here. We loved playing @ the local water parks, Sun Splash, seeing a movie, & just some serious cousin time. These boys have gone non-stop from the time they wake up, till the moment they hit their pillows @ the end of the day. Today was spent @ Lake Tahoe. It was absolutely beautiful. The water was refreshing, the sand provided endless hours of digging time, the weather was a cool 85 degrees, the company could not have been better, & the boys loved the boat rides that Uncle John took them on (via the inflatable rubber boats). I think @ one point, they had 3 boats tied together with a Boogie Board trailing behind. Mr. Brody loved the sand & water this time. When we were there a month ago, he cried when we took him in the water. Today was a totally different story. We could not get him out of the water, even when his entire little body was shaking & shivering. When we finally managed to get him out of the water, he would then lay in the sand. He was covered in sand from his head to his toes.

I am not going to lie, I am T-I-R-E-D & worn out. We have played hard everyday, all day long. I love my boys & my nephews so much...but boy, oh boy!!! This week has reminded that 4 is a REALLY good # for us :). I am heading to bed to delve into my Breaking Dawn book. I am not even half way through it-eeekkks! That really shows you how tired I have been. My head hits the pillow & I am out. I'll leave you with some photos from our day!

You guys need to bottle your energy and sell it to the rest of us! I can hardly keep up with my four. What a fun week and a great ending to summer vacation.
