Ahhhh....summer.
Even though both Todd and I decided to work this summer (why? great question!) it is still summer! And although we are working (not taking that term tooooo seriously, I mean, we do still get three day weekends til August) we are still taking time for some good old fashion summer fun.
To kick off the summer season we were fortunate to join the Simmons crew on a trip to Shreveport for a weekend of lake fun. It was the first time we were all there together as families of four and was so much fun -- especially for the big kids.
I am sure there will come a day that they don't absolutely adore each other the way they do now, and if that's the case, we have lots of ammo to embarrass them with when that day comes. :)
The lake lady. Don't kid yourself. Before this picture was taken she had a full out fit for a good part of a boat ride about putting that life jacket on. She is a fashionable little gal -- maybe it didn't go with her outfit. However, once she accepted the required accessory, she asked to put it back on every time she got the chance.
While we were there we also decided to go check out the alligator farm that isn't too far from the lake. They had so much more than alligators! It was great for the kids -- all kinds of animals to look at and lots of room to run around and check things out.
Of course the big kids couldn't pass up an opportunity for a pony ride.
By total luck we were standing in the exact right spot to get a chance to touch a real alligator -- our little vets were taking it all in....
And the littles decided it was better to check the alligators out from a little farther distance...
It was an awesome weekend with great people. Til next time...
