An Evening

The Friday after the 4th of July we went to Travis' parent's house to have dinner with DeAnna's parents. We were all hanging out outside and suddenly it was raining on Carson


Here comes the rain!


Oh, it's just Uncle Kevin


Ah! The rain is following me!


Don't even think about it, Kevin.


Inside, Julie was working hard on her plank position.


And scooting around after stuff


Then I headed back outside to check out the tadpoles. This is what's left of the pond. I'm standing in the bottom of it and if it was full I think I'd have my head covered. The guys say they don't remember the pond ever lasting this long into the summer and getting this gross.


Um, green tea Gunner?


This robin kept coming close to me and hopping around.


Here's a crop from that picture. Can you see what's flopping through the air just to the left of the robin's head in the picture? A tadpole! What a great source of food that little pond must be. No wonder the robin was back and forth all over the place.


Here's some more close crops of some pictures I took of the little tadpoles swimming and coming up for air. The bottom right one has two tadpoles just crossing paths but shows some pretty developed legs on one of them.


While we were there the guys also needed to load up and haul their quads home from our trip to Shotgun Creek the previous week. Of course, you can't load up without playing first...


Kevin and Travis think they're pretty cool.








That's getting your rear a little low, Travis


And that is too low, Kevin!


finally falling off after skidding to a hault


Oh, you think you're funny, huh?


Check out that skid mark!


Blueberries! No, Emmett, those are pine cones, but there's cherries over there...


Gunner likes cherries too.


Mmmm


Then the sprinklers came on and Avery wanted to run through them. I had to stop him quickly and tell him to go change back into his already wet clothes!


What is it with kids and airplanes? Duh, they're just so cool.


Wanna go for a ride, Emmett? Yeah!




I wanna ride too. But Carson who's going to pull then?


I will Mom!


Avery to the rescue


Such a good big brother.


Such a good evening.
