Fun in the Sun

We love summer time around here and try to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the warmer temperatures and summer acitivities.

While Grant and I were on our mother-son trip Brian expertly managed the other three boys at home. The younger boys enjoyed the change of pace and Bryce was able to enjoy some one on one time with daddy while Gramma helped with Carter and Davis on Friday. Brian took Bryce to the pool (one of his favorite spots) and out to dinner. That afternoon at the pool a little girl asked Bryce if he could go off the diving board (he had been eyeing it ever since Grant took his first jump). To Bryce's "no" the little girl said, "Come on, it's easy." "Ok," was Bryce's reply. He then took his first jump off the diving board. Grant and Bryce are now the diving board duo and can manage to make some pretty big splashes with their cannon balls (something they are quite proud of!).

The first walk to the end of the board...

...the slight pause...

...the leap!

Another big jump.

Another outdoor activity we all love is visiting our local parks. There are three or four in the area that we frequent. The boys love the trails through the woods at Rockwood Park and attempting the fitness activities along the way.

And of course summer wouldn't be summer without golf (Brian has me trained!). Grant and Bryce officially have the "bug." Recently they had fun playing a nine hole par 3 course with Brian.
