At the Lake for Granny's 90th Birthday

On our way up North and worlds apart from where we were and what we have been dealing with...a mental break for us, a physical break for Trey. We welcome the “slow life” with open arms! Here we are on the long dirt road that leads to my Granny's home. Trey is as happy as they come and so excited to see his brothers!My Granny’s 90th birthday was a great time for her. It was so nice to see family and friends that we haven’t seen in years.
Granny was so happy with the party and was in absolute heaven with all her grandkids and great grandkids at her home to help her celebrate her very special day. The 4th of July was so much fun at the lake. Seeing the fireworks light up the lake was a beautiful sight. Mike and I have decided that our annual visit to the University would be best spent in late June early July…it beats the Arizona heat any day! We had such a fun time and I'm sure the memories the kids made are irreplaceable. We are so lucky to have my grandma 3 hours north of the University, where life takes us twice a year.

Fun times;
Mike told Trey to hold his fishing pole and to watch the bobber because if it goes down, it means he caught a fish. Wouldn't ya know, the minute Mike handed over the pole to Trey, the bobber goes down. Trey tell's Mike and up they pull Trey's first fish of the summer! The smile on his face was priceless...Trey really enjoys fishing with his daddy.

I had remembered swimming the width of the lake at about the same age as Drake and Broc (although my mom insists otherwise) and thought it would be fun for the kids to give it a try. Off they swam and within seconds Drake pulled ahead of the pack and ended up being the only one to make it across (Broc swears that he made it too and that he didn't get any help from Mike but Drake still has the verdict out on that one...I wouldn't know, Drake pulled so far ahead of the group that I jumped in on a raft to catch up with him to make sure no other boat would run over his little bobbing head in the big, big open space. My little "fish" celebrating his victory!
