Playing in the rain

 Abel and Ansel trying out Grandma's umbrella.  They had fun in the rain.  Sorry for the broken umbrella Grandma- it didn't even last the night!

                                          The boys love the rain as much as the yard does!

Minnehaha Park

 We went on a small adventure this weekend.  Some times you have to get out of the house and go for a hike!  I miss hiking so much.  The boys weren't sure about "hiking"- Abel stated that he rather stay home.  Boys get in the van we are going out and it will be fun!  Why when you as a parent try to do some thing "fun" you end up getting so much grief? Once they saw the waterfalls they thought ok, maybe this won't be so bad.

Of course climbing rocks help too!

The boys!

 

In the end guess who didn't want to go home?!

So many stairs!

I know summer is almost over :(  This summer has been a busy and fast one.  We didn't get to cross every thing off our summer list because of my new work schedule but we still made the best of it!  Having every weekend off together is really nice.  I love being out side and going on little adventures- even if there is always one complainer in the group. One who doesn't want to go or one who doesn't want to home!  It sure is hard to make every one happy.
