Catching up on Summer Fun '09

I think this was one of the boys' favorite activities this summer, going on Dicky's boat. Jesse has been driving it all alone! He knows more about driving a boat than me and Steve together! :) They always drove the boat in front of our house, and called me to get on the deck and wave :) Actually, I was on the phone with Dicky while I was taking this photo :) Can you see it? :)


These baloons have been flying over our house quite often, but this time they were playing around... I think they were racing who will get to dip in the lake :)

TRIPS to WATTERPARK
We got to go to Watterpark few times this year. Lucas is a little bigger and enjoyed the fun a lot more than last year.

... justaminute, be right theu ...










We made this huuuuge 30ft watter slide this summer. It was sooooo much fun! :-) The boys couldn't stop sliding.... it really was a fantastic idea ...











STEAM BOAT RIDE
This summer, we were very lucky to be invited to ride this awesome little Steam boat. It was big enough for about 5 people :) and it took quite a bit of work to keep this beauty running, but it was definitely awesome to experience the ride. We actually just drove by McDonald's and saw this boat on a trailer. The owners approached us talked to us for a while. We really just wanted to see the boat getting in the watter and this wonderful couple asked us to come along for a ride. It was fantastic. It was so nice of them! The boys were sooo excited because all the other boaters were waving at us. They didn't last very long though... running the boat was quite loud, and lot of steam coming towards us... well, here are some photos, I hope you enjoy them :)

... few photos from playing at home...

Luky really loves grilling :)

These next two photos are from grandma's pool... this is how they dry laundry :) I just thought it was the cuttest picture :-)


Some more photos of the boys. They do argue over little things, but they really Love each other very much. Jesse is very protective, and Lucas is so excited when we pick up Jesse earlier from school or when the bus brings Jess home. :) They love playing together.
