Summa-Summa-Summatime (Swim-Boat-Slide)

As I am going through these pictures and watching the leaves fall outside my window, I am already missing summer and cannot wait to have it back! Summertime is my favorite season by far! Here are all our summer pictures from boating, Venture River, pool fun, or with friends at the cabin from May to September. Despite the overall crummy summer weather, you can see we had a great time! Soon and very soon...

Moryl and Owens kids playing baseball out at the cabin! It's so nice to see kids just play.

The boys and Maeci and Maddox kayaking

Look closely - Maddox has a treasure on the front of his kayak

playing baseball at the lake!

Youngest to Oldest: Ivy -5, Maclyn -6, Maddox -8, Finn -10, Maeci -12, Keagan -10

Tied up with the Murphy clan!

Memorial Weekend means red-white-blue swimwear!

a whole lotta kids!

deer meat sticks - a boating favorite

Josh said, "Let's pretend we are Lady and the Tramp" haha!

water safe Uno!

Missing Kaycee but loving some fun boat time with my girls and their fans

the water was FRIGID but when you gotta go, you gotta go...

deer stick...

time for s'mores!

Venture River!

Grandma got Ivy a pool and floats for her 5th Birthday...all the kids enjoyed it

Unfortunately Mac only lasted .2 seconds...

Telling us to STOP so we can pull her in.

Mac tried again...lasted .3 seconds this time.

Maclyn trying again...gotta give her credit for trying! But she didn't stay on it for very long before asking to be pulled back in. 

This little bitty girl is FEARLESS

Big sis decided if her baby sister could do it, so could she. I was scared I would be able to hear her scream  at the top, or at least the entire way down!

But she did it!!! Big steps!

Josh and I had a day date and decided to go out on the boat! We saw this monstrosity river boat cruise ship when we got onto the main lake! Super cool!

I'm telling you: Ivy is fearless.

Labor Day shenanigans with a bunch of teenagers

Stacey is MAKING mine smile for a selfie...not sure how successful she was

they DO smile!

Don't worry...we watch these two closely! LOL (also, the kids beds are our living room which is also our kitchen at the cabin! Maeci and Keags have been best buds since they were 3.

Boating season came to an end with Labor Day...too much soccer on weekends!

til next summer...
