A day at the lake

The mud people. :)
Hailey, after eating her weight in sand.
Having a very serious conversation
Building a sand castle with Uncle Rick and cousins.

Logan stirring up trouble. Nothing new here. :)


We went to the lake for a picnic to enjoy the final days of summer. The kids had a blast playing with cousins. They found a patch of clay and proceeded to smear it all over each other. Fun times! I must say I am going to miss summer when it's gone, but we are looking forward to going back to school, and our regular routine, with great anticipation. Kati will be going full day now for first grade. She is excited to eat in  the cafeteria and I am excited to have 6 hours between drop off and pick up. :) I am also looking forward to Fall. It's my favorite time of year for pictures, and hosts some of my favorite holidays. Casey is currently driving a day run, which means he is home every night. We are loving the new schedule. With any luck he will get a permanent day run this fall. Cross your fingers for us!
