night time sky.

fish launch and boat ride at aunt mic and uncle ralph's house.

monday, june 28, 2010. we made it to aunt mic and uncle ralph's. the boys got to head right back to the toy room and just like at lizzie and brian's in no time toys were all over the place:))) but, what levi wanted to do more than anything was let the fish out in the pond! so, he got to do that and then we went on a boat ride. it was gorgeous, almost chilly out! we phoenicians will take full advantage of the great outdoors while the weather permits.

TOYS!

hey we have this.

levi showing abe a tractor.

abraham hit the mother load of huge horses. he took every single one out and here he is putting every single one back.

uncle ralph caught a lightening bug for levi.

a happy jig.

awe, it's time!

levi letting his little friends out into their new home.

here are 3 of the gold and the one speckled.

here are 2 gold, the speckled is a little easier to see and a grey one too.

it's boatin' time.

papa's n beer. bad joke, i know.

ah, the boatin' life. the water was so still. i love the reflection.

captain levi.

goofin around. he made me so nervous. especially when he'd lean over the side!

just cute.

captain abraham had a turn too...

but not for long because he couldn't see and wasn't really cooperating;)

knuckles.

hootin' while going under the bridge.

levi navigated the boat under the bridge all by himself!

then levi didn't want to drive anymore.

look the boat lights are on. one green and one red.

levi wanted to help papa tie us off.

yay! great g'ma erm is here!!! check her out lifting abe up with one arm...she's 84 years young.

kisses.

she gets right down and start playing. she's incredible.

"look at me everybody!."

he just learned this trick from levi. mama wasn't happy, but knew it was inevitable. levi did this last year too. all the kiddos did.

he'd put soooooo much effort into this little jump...

...bending over farther and farther.

here he is trying to jump two horses now.

i took lots of pics of abe while levi was in time out for not listening. i didn't want to take pics originally because i didn't want it to look like i was condoning their actions. but, in the end i caved. levi would shout, everybody look at me!!! then abe would copy him. they definitely had us laughing, but on the edge of my seat.

the landing. so scary.
