It Rained!

We are expriencing a severe drought here in our part of Texas this summer, BUT last week we finally had rain!  It started about 2 in the morning and was still going strong when we all got up for the day.  Landon ran to the door and asked if he could go get his swimsuit on and go play in the rain.  Since it was not storming out we said, "Go for it!"  He got a little chilly so we had to break out the rain coat...at least he got a little more use out of it! 

Sum, Sum, Summer Time :)

Landon and his buddy Cole at Schlitterbahn

Floating the Torrent River :)

Loving the water bucket falling on him :)

First time off the HIGH dive...he LOVED it!

Enjoying time at "The Island"  Thanks for having us Faith and Addie!

Silly face of course ;)

We have spent most of the summer so far in water...pool, lake, springs, etc.!  It is the way to beat the heat and I love this time of year!  There is always somewhere fun to dip your toes into some refreshing body of water!

Camping in Bastrop

Landon was strategically placing pieces of pancake on tree branches for the squirrels to come and eat!

Landon showing off his favorite pole and mommy's least favorite...bait caster!

Our little weekend friend...she loved the apples we left for her but not the pancakes!

Showing off his perch.  He was hoping for a nice bass, but they were not cooperating!

He could play with the minnows all day!  Good entertainment for a slow day on the boat!

Hydrilla Head!

View from our campsite...hope he had better luck than us! ;)

We finally had a FREE weekend so we took that opportunity and headed to Lake Bastrop to go camping!  As soon as we got there Landon hopped out of the car and said, "Let's go on an adventure!"  We went on a lot of adventures while we were there and he saw real animals and then made up great stories about other animals he supposedly saw while he was in the woods!  He did a lot of fishing but only caught some blue gill and a few perch.  To cool off from the heat we went swimming at the beach...they had an area at the park roped off and brought sand in to make it a nice place! 

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails or Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice?!
