Party at the Park

Now well into June, the heat is on...REALLY!!! We went to a reception for some of our ballooning friends up north on Sat. We took an hour boat tour around the lake, ate, saw a barn owl close up, played awhile and went fishing. As you can see in the pictures, the boys did well. Eric caught the first and the biggest one just after he put his line in the water. He brought it in on his own too. It wasn't long after that and Jesse caught a little one too. He was more interested in touching it and throwing it back than the process of catching a fish. It was a VERY HOT day, but it was nice and we were on our way home before the rain made its way to us.

We had a church picnic today and the boys went (water) sliding out front and then swam in the neighbors pool. That kept them cool and again wore us all out. We ended the evening with Eric's new favorite card game, War. Jesse plays but doesn't really consider it any sort of battle - he usually prefers the physical kind!?! Eric starts VBS at the church tomorrow a.m. and it's back to work tomorrow already as the time seems to fly by. We hope you are enjoying the warmth, but staying cool too!
