School's Out!

Memorial Day weekend was a time to celebrate the beginning of summer since school was officially out!! The kids were SO excited and we had a great weekend of fun to kick off our summer!

We went mini-golfing in the morning that Saturday, came home and had lunch, and then that afternoon we took the kids fishing for the first time! After an hour of fishing (we didn't catch anything, but man those kids sat and waited and watched for the longest time, demonstrating a patience I didn't know they had!), we all hopped into our kayak and enjoyed a nice kayak ride in the lake there. Yes- all four of us fit in our two person kayak! It was such a fun adventure. The whole day was awesome!

We followed that up with a trip to Centennial Beach the next day! The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and they did a little swimming, too. It was perfect weather for the beach that weekend- a great kickoff to our beaching days!

Gymnastics fun in the basement was a good way to stay cool that weekend, too!

All in all, that first summer weekend was wonderful!

Mini-golfing fun!



Ben had the kids practice fishing off the side of our deck (not casting of course, but just reeling). Clever daddy.





Now for some real fishing. 
(Well, with plastic worms that came in our kit. For now. Real bait could wait.)





We saw a water snake!




Annabel was so proud of how far she could cast! She's pointing in this picture how far it went.


Big proud smile!






Kayaking time!




Annabel must have been a mermaid or a fish in another life. She is forever wading in the water...farther and farther out, too!





Annabel casting her reel! She's quite proud!


Centennial Beach fun!




Cool gymnastics moves in our nice cool basement!


Annabel is constantly practicing gymnastics moves in our family room, too!
