Zoo and Firehouse
We rested up for two Field Trips with families in our neighborhood that home school too:
First it was the Zoo:
Hannah and Aunt Grace came too:)
Then the Firehouse today:

Lots of cuddles and naps:
Some redecorating:
We even managed to get the boat into the Garage:
Ray and Kate look so grown up in their new outfits:
Sharing a Day on the Lake
BJ took his nephews and Dad out on the boat while I chilled with Gamma and the little ones on the beach! It was a wonderful Saturday:)
Sammy excelled at making sand castles and soon there were little towns and cities.
Katie joined in the fun:
Jackson helping Kate fill her bucket:
Sammy made a river and over time built walls to direct it down to a little boat:
Kate, Frank and Sam filling the basement with Lego creations:
Labor Day Weekend
Our boat didn't stay in the driveway for long, because BJ planed a holiday weekend we will never forget:
We went camping at Mark Twain National Park and boated everyday on Mark Twain Lake!
While I worked on packing the tent, boat, and Jeep Kate was resting up...under her bed!
Ray didn't crash until after some time on the boat:
Here we are at the Dam:
Over look at the Visitor's Center:
This was in the museum that was built around Mark Twain's childhood home:
Grandma Copus, this one is for you! There was everything they used to make cloth:
Night Shirts! Because that is just about all the clean laundry we had when we got home:)
In all, we had a fantastic time together!
Fixin' Stuff
I was pretty proud of BJ getting our camp stove up and running, it is a stove his family used while he was growing up!
Lately Kate has been doing fixing, building and mischief of her own. She put this motor into her hair and I had to cut it free:(
Why is bedtime the ONLY time she will let me do her hair?
