When the Hurricane Blew Through

When Hurricane Ike hit Texas, we were prepared for some bad storms even as far north as we live. Instead, we got more of a warm summer shower. The boys couldn't resist stripping down & playing in the rain.

Mom's First Try

My first attempt at fixing Sweet P's hair beyond just combing it. It took 20 minutes to get that tiny rubberband twisted around that tuft of hair. And I'm not sure Sweet P was too impressed with my efforts.

Go, Pumas!

First game of the new season, with a new coach, several new teammates, and new uniforms. P1's also trying out playing offense this season.




P2 found a friend to play with, but he was ready to go long before the game was over. Of course, when it was time to go, he screamed all the way to the car.

Bathtub Built for Two?

After his own bath in the big tub, P2 decides to join Sweet P in her mini-tub.

I don't think she was too sure this was a good idea.

At the Marina

We went to the marina intending to rent a boat for the morning, but a storm was threatening. So, we decided to hang out on shore.

EWW!


Dad & P1 also found a quiet corner to fish, while G'ma & Sweet P set up a picnic and Mom & P2 went wading in the swim area.

On the Burger Barge

We took an evening cruise around Greer's Ferry Lake, enjoying good food, fun music, and beautiful sights.

We're ready to eat!

No more pictures, please!

Sweet P's rocked to sleep by the gentle waves.

Summer Vacation in Arkansas

We went on vacation with G'ma to Fairfield Bay, Arkansas. We had so much fun hiking, swimming, playing tennis & mini golf. There was an art gallery that put on a puppet show for the kids. And a great marina to visit.

These are some pics from our hike to Indian Rock.

P1 led the way, explorer extraordinaire.

Dad & P2 follow the trail. Something about this kind of picture always grabs my heart.
