Saul Run and 4th of July Summer Fun

Once again the run was a blast. The boys decided to ride their bikes instead of running. They looked especially tough on their bikes.

They rode the entire course, even the hills, all on their own.


They recovered from their effort by unwinding in the playroom.
The summer has been beautiful, even Jens agrees.

We have spent a lot of time up at the knoll, and the kids made friends with the new neighbor's dog.
This is Riley, a real yellow lab and not a fake one like Winnie.
Summer has meant campfires with the pyros.


Summer also means Apple Sox games and nachos.
Emphasis on the nachos.
Cheeseburgers!!
The Coyote!
The Kiwanis chicken dinner was a hit with the kids. Ryker sucks the chicken bones dry.
Bottomless lemonade!

Jens had some of her many cavities filled. She was a great little patient.

Here she is with a new-found resolve to be a better brusher and flosser.
All that dental work wore her right out.
To ensure a perfect parking spot, we arrive fairly early for the fireworks. Once we arrived Jens decided that she wanted to change her clothes. Rock and Mommy helped make a temporary changing station.
The boys filled the time with a game of catch.
It was another perfect 4th of July night.
Ryker was crazy excited.
The next day we took the kids out on the boat and let them enjoy the water. They loved their time on the lake.
It was fun pulling them on the tube and hearing them whine that I was simultaneously going too fast and too slow.
They especially wanted to go fishing from the boat. Their Cheetos baited spinners surprisingly didn't do very well.

More tubing!

 


 Jens was too afraid to ride the tube, but she loved watching the boys.
