the falls and water

 the weather was PERFECT last week.  Low 80s  and low humidity. My favorite kind of summer.

On friday we went to charleston falls for a little hike with M and the grandparents! I totally forgot my camera because I came straight from teaching a class- but M brought along hers so I stole her pics.
the boys were a little hesitant about entering the 'cave' but eventually agreed to take a picture with grandma pat at the "very front" .
the falls are still pretty puney- but at least there was a trickle. 
After the falls we went to the Officer's Club on base for lunch.  We hadn't ever been- and it was pretty cool.

Then at home we pulled out the slip n slide.  The boys LOVE when Kent joins in.  He gets pretty crazy.
Ike can barely clear the jump at the end of the slide-
but Kent uses it to catch some pretty impressive air. and then belly flops onto the grass. Looked pretty painful to me!




best summer toy buying tip: buy at the end of the season for next year. slip n slide= 3 dollars!! kiddie pool= 1 dollar!!
apparently our sunscreen is pretty darn waterproof.  the water just rolled off their faces!! and they looked a little like ghosts :)
metta enjoyed watching the festivities.  She is turning out to be not so much of a baby anymore. She has TWO teeth and is sleeping through the night- FINALLY!!

Man- That was great! The weather was nice but I do not like the humidity! My arms loved it though. I miss my little ones. They are so good and SUPER SMART! I love them to death!
I miss Miss Metta- I love her smiles and her laugh! :)

I'm SO jealous! Looks like you had a great time with the Millers. Maybe we can come back in the fall and go to all those cool hiking places.

P.S. And the kids are cute.
