Floatin' Boats....
Em and Sar and I have a summer activity that we force on anyone that happens to spend the day with us...(these are all willing victims). We have a favorite spot to hang out, I have posted a million pictures of this secret spot...it is a small rapids in the middle of the woods in a park on the edge of a town near our home. It's beautiful and quiet and the absolute perfect place for picture taking. It's also the perfect spot for our summer activity: we make boats and then have races down the rapids and under the bridge...the winner gets bragging rights. There are very few rules and regulations...mostly anything goes the only rules are: everything that you use to make your boat needs to be found in the woods nothing can be brought with you from home, it can be as elaborate or as simple as big or small as you wish. We have forced mostly all of Em and Sar's friends and their cousin's and my friends kids to play the boat game its a great time and we all usually end up soaked and laughing...especially if someone's boat sinks. I would recommend spending a day floatin' boats...its fun and free and something that I hope my girls will always remember...

What an awesome day, had so much fun with you guys. Can't wait to get together and do another boat race. T.J and Jake had alot of fun and can't wait to stay at Auntie and Uncles for a few days.
Lucy- how lovely! It is so wonderful to hear that you and yours have SIMPLE and imaginative fun. Sometimes its hard to slow down and enjoy the kids- but you did it so well!
(And I love the outfit you are in- khaki capris and a spunky, feminine, summery top!)
Sounds like a great time. Count me in! Boat races and friends! Hope all is well with you and yours. Great pictures of everyone and of course the water is lovely.

Anna: that was such an awesome day...the picnic the fishing the swimming...the hook that accidently found its way into your flesh...sorry sis hehehe
Joyce: I agree sometimes it is hard to find time to slow down and just enjoy the day..we do not always have Floatin' Boats days..that was just one day out of many many busy days, I wish I would take more time to do simple and fun things with my girls they are only little for such a short time and I hate that I waste so much of that short time doing things that they will never remember ..dishes, laundry,cleaning,weeding the garden mowing the lawn,trimming bushes,and even this blog,it all takes time away from them...but that day was perfect and we did have a wonderful time...I like to post about days like that so that on those days when they are telling me how bored they are and how we never do anything fun I can just say...read the "floatin Boats" post babies...we did something fun once....hehehe
Blondie: Anytime you are back home for a visit we will have to work a Floatin' Boat day into your trip. Miss you girl Take Care...
That's a great story. Waiting for more. »
