swimming

Richard received a waterproof camera in a gift basket from one of his golf tournaments so, of course we had to try it out. We are still working on actually taking pictures under water, but it is nice to be able to take pictures in the water without worrying about the camera.

1st day of school 2010

Today is the first day of school for Garrett and Grace. They were very excited this morning to wear their new school clothes.

Garrett is going into 4th grade and Grace will be in Kindergarten!

This is Grace with her teacher, Ms. Spearrow. I think she will have a good time in her class this year.

This is the only picture Garrett would let me take at the school. He is too cool for his mom to be hanging around taking pictures :)

After we dropped off the older kids, Jack and I went to the park to play.

He is always looking for treasures to take home in his pockets!

Garrett and Jack had a fun time playing in the mud puddle in our back yard. We cleared some of the rocks to make a spot for grass. It has turned into mud hole this summer waiting for it to cool down for grass.

This is what the clouds looked like most of the time we were there. It rained every afternoon and evening.

It rained a lot while we were there and that brought up a lot of worms. Jack spent a lot of time collecting worms and laying them out on the towel.

We dropped the anchors and fished for crawfish for a bit and while Richard and the kids fished, I did a little relaxing.

Grace caught the only fish of the trip!
