saturday, july 17, 2010. this morning joshua left to go get g'pa and g'ma block at the airport in peoria.
uncle ralphy gave the boys 2 rides each on the lawn mower.
he let levi drive all by himself!
turning.
going up and down the hills. they would go super fast and ralph would have to hold them around the waist because it was actually quite steep.
dragonfly in the pond.
side view.
yay! g'ma's here!!!
purple cone flower. my new fav.
the boys taking the grandparents for a tour of the pond.
i like levi's REFLECTION in the water. this is one of two fishys that swam around the dock this afternoon. he is just above the blue not in the rope in this picture.
the fish swam all around joshua and abraham too! my worst nightmare, but right after these pics i was in the water again. knowing they are there is way less scary than an unexpected brush against my leg.
the fish is super close, but hard to see.
coming to the surface looking for some food.
levi was excited because he tied a not.
getting ready to jump.
big slashin'.
levi's new favorite thing to do. pulling a wagon around after filling it with as much stuff as he can.
papa found more clams.
the fish are still swimming even with all the activity, so...
aunt mic got frozen corn for the boys to feed them.
it's hard to see, but there are two here. at one point there were three!!!
time for a boat ride. watching joshua put gas in the boat.
eating guacamole from one of the clam shells joshua found. (mic washed it in the dishwasher 1st;)
joey with the amazing clouds.
so puffy!
i know i'm obsessed, but these are like the clouds when we were at lake shelbyville. always changing super fast and, well, ginormous!!!
brothers.
mason wanted me to get a pic of him on the swing!
pink clouds. purple martins.
joshua, aunt mic, joey, and mason having a swimming race from the middle.
joey went to check the crawdad trap. no crawdads, but he did find the tiniest frog i've ever seen!
unfortunately, this guy didn't last long:( abraham was a little too excited and too rough.
night time boat ride.
a little later benji, mandy, and ava came by.
levi had to show everyone how he could jump, so abe had to too.
this doesn't happen very often any more. abraham fell asleep in my arms!
