A Quiet Weekend

I love a good quiet weekend.  A 3 day weekend at that!  No commitments. Heaven!  We were invited to go boating with some friends on Saturday and we actually could say yes!! It was SUPER fun.

We boated in a canal. I'm sure it had alligators in it.  Thankfully we saw none.  The water was warm and every time they stopped the boat the kids jumped off the sides to swim.

We went tubing and wake boarding.

Sunday we went for a walk over the causeway and to visit the "jungle gym". It's a little place by the river that has fun tree branches to crawl through.  It's Luke's new favorite place to go right now. We've been there 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

Of course there are always treasures to be found.

The kids sure are enjoying their school-free freedom 

They are finding all kinds of mischief to get into. I found these pictures on my phone.

 Apparently they were performing surgery on Luke.  Creepy!

My neighbor was "giving" away a huge painting.  I snagged it for a little art project and Jack has been color blocking it for me.

He is our current little crafty artist.

This girl turns 13 tomorrow.. THIRTEEN! 

She had the opportunity to take Horseback riding lessons last month.  They ended last week when her teacher left on her mission.  We'll miss you Gina!

Must rest now!  I've got to get my beauty sleep. :)
