Cooling off

If we have enough stuff in the yard to play with on a hot sunny day, we can get some stuff done. I spent hours weeding the gardens and Chris did a bunch stuff that he never seems to have time to do. The boys got wet, dried off, got wet...and on and on.... We were all exhausted by the end of the day from so many hours of working and playing in the yard.
Filling up the pool is just as fun as playing in it

We keep telling Xander that if he is going to dish it out, he has to be able to take it.

Nate figures out that if he sticks his finger inside the hose, he can get Xander really good!

The boys enjoying a Dilly bar. Xander is no doubt a) thinking that Nate's chocolate one suddenly looks better than his cherry and b) is hoping that Nate will not be able to finish it and hand it over before it melts and before all the chocolate is gone. I know my son well (probably because it is what I would be thinking if it were me!)
Chris filling in the rock garden

He has the biggest eyes!
"Hey, let me smear ice cream all over the camera!"

Nathan being so good at sharing, offers up his dilly bar (with all chocolate eaten off) to his daddy. Sweet boy must have known Chris needed to take a break from all that hard work.
Nathan says "swim, swim, SWIM!"
I think Chris is ready to be done! The boys think it is so funny when he sits on top of the garage. I do not.
