Ducks Don't Wear Socks

That's the name of one of the books we have checked out from the library right now. And when we went to Longview Lake yesterday, it was determined that it's true- ducks don't wear socks!

We went to the lake with our friend Amanda to feed the fish.

(the whole time we were looking at the fish and their big, nasty mouths, I couldn't help but think of the Trouty Mouth song from Glee. Poor Sam!)

He was totally getting into throwing the food 

as far out as possible.

He just couldn't stop checking out the fish!

Jackson and Amanda! Aren't they just super cute?!

You know you want to say it, so just go ahead... 

Awww!!!

We played with Amanda last week too! Belle played the role of real-life baby doll and she loved all of the
attention. It's a win-win for both girls!

Our friends are just so much fun (and cute)!

Down at the lake

We were invited to the lake this weekend by some awesome friends. Here's a recap:

The beautiful sunset view from the boat

Chillin' in the boat, eating lots of junk food!!

Taking some time to jump out of the boat for a swim in the middle of the lake!

And Julie had tons-o-fun tubing for the first time

Jackson got to spend some quality time with his Grandma and Grandpa while I had a wonderful relaxing weekend with friends. Not only did we enjoy the water, but we stayed up late watching movies, eating wonderful food cooked by HanNah, and cracked ourselves up at the dinner table. Julie even got herself her very first American boyfriend... of the completely smitten five-year-old type. Boy, does he have it bad!!

Summer is almost over... school starts in one week! If only someone would tell the sun to give it a rest. We have a forecast with 100 degree temps in the forecast all week. UGH!
