Lake Trip

Today we headed to a really cool lake in Ft Worth. It is a spring fed lake that they have made into a swimming area and added slides, diving boards, and a trapeze swing. We spent most of the day there and grilled burgers for lunch. It was so fun, now I just wish it was a little closer so that we could go more often. The water was the perfect temperature and the kids loved everything and were so brave to try everything.
Mckinley relaxed most of the day, but I wanted to get her out in the water and she really enjoyed it. That's my girl!

The kids loved playing in the water and the sand and even had a water fight.

Brennon couldn't get enough of the kids slide and diving board. He had no fear diving off of it right into the water and even though he couldn't really see us under water, tried to swim to us after jumping in. He is going to be our dare devil. He really wanted to go on the big slides and was sad when they told him he was too small.
Here is the trapeze swing. I of course had a blast jumping off it, but Matt had to show me up and do a back flip off of it.

A group shot after grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. Why is it swimming makes you so hungry?!
Me attempting the swing.... I also did the high diving boards and did some diving. All this made me miss my college days of cliff jumping and diving at the local pools. Good times..

Of course sand castles had to be made every time there is sand.

Family

The past few weeks have been so much fun. We have been super busy and been enjoying time as a family. Just this past week we went with friends to the Rangers baseball game and had so much fun watching and chatting. Mckinley enjoyed her very first pro game. (don't worry Joy, we are still Cubs fans ;) )

Katelynn had her last day of school and we invited friends over for a water fight and lunch. It was a tradition for us growing up and the kids loved it as well. The water balloons were gone in like 30 seconds, but we still had fun getting wet and running around.
My baby girl is now graduated from Kindergarten. I can't believe it! This year has flown by. I'm so proud of her!


Kindergarten graduation at her school was fun. She was the star of the kindergarten slide show. They must love her like we do!
Totally a Katelynn pose. Don't you love her attitude at 6!
We have hit the pool most every day we have free. Even Mckinley loves the water. We love our pools and wearing the kids out!

We went with some friends to the children's museum in Ft Worth and had a blast. Brennon's favorite was where they had a whole area with hundreds of train tracks that you could play with. He was in heaven!

Our baby girl is now almost 4 months old. She is getting so big and still has blue eyes and fair skin.... what?? She is a doll, though and we love her!

We had portraits taken of the kids and here are a few of my favorites...







Our family is always up for a great adventure and we are all kids at heart, so we wanted to share our adventures and moments with you! Enjoy!
