Today the littles begged to go to the lake for one last afternoon of boating. The weather was warm, but the wind was cold and the water was a bit on the choppy side. We brought lots of boat snacks (thanks Grampa!) and spent a few hours driving around the island enjoying slow, leisurely tube rides. We were the only ones on the lake, except for a fishing boat. It's always nice when that happens since Crimson is so small. While we were eating Hyrum said, "I'm kind of like you, Dad, I have an empty armpit!" We all burst out laughing. He meant "Hollow leg".
Daddy, Grampa, and I all had a turn on the tube too! When it was my turn Hyrum looked at my legs as we were being pulled around the lake and said, "You need to trim your legs." Turns out I've neglected shaving my legs the last few weeks, and Hyrum definitely noticed! Ha!
When we got home the boys started a fire and we roasted hot dogs and Smores. It was such a beautiful night! We are loving our new fire pit! It's the perfect height for roasting and cooking!
Sawyer loves being outside and really enjoyed watching everyone roasting, running and playing.
When the sun started to sink lower into the horizon, we gathered the littles and went inside for showers and baths.
We finished off our evening with Father's blessings for back to school and some quiet time together as family. It's so hard for me to explain the way I feel about back to school. It's a good mix between excitement for the children and sadness for me. I love having all of my kids at home together, but it's so good for them to be able to go out into the world and apply the things we teach them here.
