We’ve been staying cool with lots of trips to the lake and some to the river.  In the early weeks after Layla was born, Jonathan took the boys on quite a few trips while I recovered. Lately us girls have been joining them on some of the outings. Here are a few of our favorite photos from over the summer.

Jonathan and Silas on the paddleboard

At Rattlesnake Lake with Grammy

Mommy & Silas on the board. My first time back on post-baby

Avery, up on his feet

The boys paddled to this rock and jumped in the water

Jonathan made a big splash off the rock

Navigating through the stumps

This fallen tree provided a fun place to practice balancing & jumping
 

There are tons of blackberries along the waters edge!

Just paddle up and help yourself!  

Picnic lunch at the river

Craigslist find: 2 kids kayaks!

Time for more adventures

Silas is a little young to paddle well. Here he is in his dinghy.
