Memorial Weekend and First day of Summer Break

Memorial Weekend for us was spent at our lakehouse. Saturday was really cold and was spent in jeans and sweatshirts on the couch watching tv (I guess that was me, the boys played outside.) Sunday was a much better, warm enough to wear swimsuits and take a spin or two on the jet ski, however the water was really cold. But that didn't stop my boys and nephew from taking dip or two. Monday turned out to be another warm day however it was so terribly windy that being on the water wasn't any fun so we headed home after lunch.

One of my favorite photo ops is taking pics of people from the back (this way you don't have to worry about who's not smiling and who has their eyes closed). Here are the boys eating lunch and probably discussing worldly issues I'm sure.
Here they are playing out on the water.

The boys also roasted marshmallows and Blake came in with his first two. When I asked him who they were for he said pointed the uncharred one and claimed that as his and then he said with a big smile that the other one was made especially for Uncle Scott. He was so proud that he had cooked it real good too.

Our first official day of summer break started off with swim lessons for the boys. I was lucky enough to get them in at the Wichita Swim Club at the same time. Brett has taken his lessons there for several years and Blake took them there as an infant....(FYI...it's a great place to take lessons).

Here's Brett getting instructions from his teacher. Brett's on the far left, green goggles.

Blake with his class. Unfortunately Blake cried thru most of his lesson mostly because he was a little nervous and some of the other kids in others groups were crying so he thought he should too. Even though he was crying he still did really well during the lesson. Tomorrow will be a whole different story I'm sure.

Here he is swimming back to the side of the pool.

Tomorrow is another day of swim lessons. I have successfully scheduled something everyday in the month of June for the boys so that we have somewhat a schedule and a reason to leave the house. Now to see what I can come up with for July and August. Hope the summer has started off with a bang for all of you.
