Happy Monday to you and Happy August. This weekend our family, minus hubby and I, went camping at a nearby lake. We've been there a few times before, but never with a boat. Carrie's family owns a nice ski boat and although they weren't sure about taking it, they did and what fun everyone had on Saturday. Hubby and I got there by 8:30 and by 9:30 we were on the lake.
The two oldest grandsons went out tubing, as did the two oldest granddaughters. However, the most fun was seeing Carrie and Kim going tubing. Although I was on the shore with the kiddos, we could hear them screaming as they bounced over the wake. It brought back so many memories of their teens, when we owned a Wave Runner and would go out almost every weekend.

Usually, when Carrie's family go boating her hubby doesn't get to tube-he's always driving. Hubby was there so both sil's went together. That was a hoot!
Eric, on the left in the bridge orange t-shirt is such a card. He keeps us laughing.
Hubby doing what he loves best-driving a boat. Maybe he loves it second best, golf would come first.
Hubby and Mr. B decided to take a turn.
You wonder why in the world I'm not tubing, well I had a very good reason-again I was on the shore with all the kiddos. We had lunch at the beach and then hubby had to head into work, so we headed home. It was such fun that we picked up hot dogs and headed back to the campsite for dinner. We've shared so many memories and years camping together, we missed it-but not enough for me to sleep on the ground. Give me an RV and then we'll talk.
Yesterday afternoon it poured and I lamented to my girls that is didn't feel like summer. Carrie texted back: "Summer is still here and we must enjoy her until the very last minute. And, then once she leaves, we can let fall come quietly to visit with candles and soft warm days. But, today is still time to enjoy summer, especially when she drenches us with an afternoon rain shower." Copywrite July 31, 2016
Yes, we will embrace each day we have left; the Cicadas are already chirping and letting us know of the coming season. For me, I plan on spending some time at the pool today. Yesterday, I got 26 ears of corn and cut it up for the freezer, packed 3 pounds of green beans in freezer bags and started working on 20 pounds of Palisades Peaches(the best peaches I've ever tasted).
I hope you are enjoying the last weeks of summer and that you will embrace August.
Joy to you!
