We just returned from a quick trip to Florida. Scott helped Brandon & Bret work on their lake house. They left before 7 a.m. on Thursday & Friday & then worked very, very hard until late in the afternoon both days. The boys & I hung out with Nette & Mikan, swimming & going to the beach. It was a nice change of pace.
The beach was lovely. We went on the 4th of July to D's beach. Then we tried going to Mickler's on the 6th of July but found that the tide was up & there were way too many people. I don't know if there was even one spot for a chair within 200 yards of the boardwalk. We immediately packed up & went back to D's beach again & had the beach to ourselves. It rained for about 10" but it wasn't cold so we just stayed.
Someone always gets hurt. This time it was Christopher & Jared. On the night before we left, Chris ran his toe into the fireplace hearth & broke it. (purple, ouch) Then, he was doing the Nestea-plunge into the neighbor's pool in Florida & scraped up the front of his shin. Jared was scootering barefoot on the yard out front & scraped up his toe, foot, and knee. Ryan didn't get hurt (this time).
This picture makes me wonder where all the time has gone. The kids have definitely grown since the last time I took one of these 3-in-a-row shots. Christopher has a definite man-voice, is taller than his mom, & needs a new pair of church pants every five minutes. Ryan is fun-loving, playful, & a great big brother to Jared. And Jared is going to kindergarten in a little over a month.
On the way back from Florida, we went to Atlanta & saw Mike & Katia get married in the temple (in Spanish). It was fun to be in the temple with friends & to see these two start their new life together. Scott has been Mike's home teacher for several years & worked with him in the YM's presidency as well. Congratulations!
