From cold to HOT

We went to my son's baseball game the other night and it was COLD. Notice the warm jacket my little one is wearing in the following picture. This jacket was bought by my hubby for my oldest when she was little. It has been passed down through all my children. It is a well made coat to last through all the wear and tear. Notice the funny face she is making. She saw me taking pictures and wanted me to take one of her so she made this face for me. She is such a ham!
It was a L O N G game. Started at 7:00 and ended at 9:30. They lost by one point and it was the first game they have lost. They made 5 runs in the last inning and almost pulled ahead. It was a great game and very exciting, but my 7yr old did NOT have that opinion as you can tell in the pic. below.

Then the weather switched up and became HOT the following days. So hot that we decided to take a walk down to the river to splash around, collect some rocks and cool off. My 3yr old decided to take a self-inking stamp to her face, (thanks sis for the stamps in the Easter baskets!) Notice how she used them on her face, arms, and legs.

So we walked down to the river and my son made a boat out of a branch and some leaves for sails and found some string for the anchor and tied a rock to it. He is very imaginative. That entertained him for a while sailing his boat. My other two just splashed around. The school bus pulled up and let my oldest off (benefits of living in a rural community) and she then got into the water and had a water fight with my son. I thought she would be mad to walk home instead of riding the bus, but she said that when the bus driver saw us and asked her if she wanted to get off there that it was my daughter that said yes. Go figure. Never can tell what these teenagers are thinking. On another day she would be whiny and grumpy about walking home. Ya just never know. I enjoyed our time together and getting to hear about her day and all her friends. I am glad she still likes to talk to me about her day. I enjoy hearing about it. Now onto the pics of our day.

Here they are involved in their big water fight.

Below is my 3yr old sailing around on the river. Mind you this is a mountain river and for most people it would be way to cold for them to even enter let alone play in. :)

Below is my son and the boat he built. He just picked up whatever he found lying around and made this. He had such fun with it.


Below is a great pic of my 7yr old. She is so beautiful and I love that face! I could just eat her up!!
