Wednesday July 25

Today we went out boating with the Young's.

We were worried it was gonna be a bad weather day, since it was raining early on.

But it turned out to be perfect and beautiful!

We only stayed out there for a few hours, but the kids all had a lot of fun.

Brent was saying as we were on our way back home that we need to do this more often.

Taking a break.

We get so busy trying to get stuff done around the house that we forget that the kids need to be kids and we need to let loose sometimes.

Let me be clear....the kids do love helping with stuff around the house :)

But it sure is fun to take an afternoon off to not think about anything that needs to be done and just play!

Here is a run down of the day in photos.

Elsie was not sure she wanted to be on the boat.

But we talked her into trying it.

Maybe next time we can talk her into going on the tube!

Afterwards we went back to Pat and Steves to drop off the boat and help get things cleaned up.

They have put in a zipline...and it is a big hit!

The kids had to all try it out before we headed home.



Elsie loved it.....

But wasn't so sure about things when dad let go.

But she is a brave little cookie.

She is buffalo brave.

That is her new thing.....when she is scared to do something we talk about her being Buffalo Brave....which comes from a story I made up to read to the kids.

One of these days I will write it down and print it out for the kids :)

For now....the saying Buffalo Brave, gets us a long way!
