Summer, Week 4

Hard to believe we're already a month into our summer break. After July 4th, the rest of the time will fly by.

Last week Danielle and I went to the park a couple different times to look for frogs or whatever else we could find.

Danielle stood in this spot, looked at this building and found 2 tree frogs. She just has a knack for these things. The picture is a little pixelated because it's a cell phone picture, but see if you can find them.

We went while it was raining one day and found this big bullfrog.

Tyler drove us to another park one day, where the three of us enjoyed a picnic lunch and a little exploring.

We took the long way back and enjoyed the countryside. I love the farmland around us.



We spent some time together at the water park. The kids talked me into riding one of the water slides with them, and I lived to tell the tale. Tyler splurged on large Icees for the 2 of them.

Of course, we had more softball. Danielle's regular team had the weekend off, but her old team needed a sub for a weekend tournament. She enjoyed getting to play for her old coach and with some of the girls from last year. She played short stop, which she rarely plays, and did a great job. I only took cell phone pictures this week. The 2nd & 3rd pictures are from a friend.

We had a really good time fishing on Sunday afternoon/evening. The humidity dropped way off and the temperatures were a little cooler than usual, making it the perfect day to sit outside and cast a line! It was pretty windy, though, so we were a little limited in location. We wanted to fish in the lake, but it was too rough. We settled for this pretty little pond. We all caught multiple fish, but they were really small. Danielle caught the most. We tried a new-to-us Mexican restaurant for a late dinner before calling it a day. Tyler drove all the way there, around the lake & dam, to dinner, and home. He did a great job. We had a really nice day together.

The fish were tiny anyway, but they both managed to turn sideways when I took the picture, making them look pretty much nonexistent!

It was a good week.
