Shenanigans

The three boys set up a ripstik obstacle course the other night while I was at the school for a gardening thing. I love their boy shenanigans.  I smiled so big when I parked on the street so that I could watch this obstacle course -- complete with Mike in a helmet and Ruby on a leash!

Mike must have gotten on top of his truck for this eye in the sky view. 

Luke's getting really good at Ripstiking too. Josh is better at it -- but it's his Ripstik!--but they're both really fun to watch. 

They were doing this for time, of course, so the tongue was out because it was Super Intense. 

The next day I came home from work and found this on my nightstand.  "To: Mom From J&L  Nerf Zombie Strike Sling Fire and Minecraft WiiU. Please can we get" with "amazon" underlined in the corner.  Amazing ask, right?  

Big day.  Friday Mike bought a new truck!  The boys promise to be SO good and super clean in it!

Meet Quicksilver, aka The Quickie according to Josh.  I was rolling when he told us that new "nickname" for the truck. 

Quicksilver pulled our trailer really nicely.  Turns out brand spanking new trucks are nicer than 12 year old ones.  Who knew!?

Onto our weekend lake pictures.  We went to Hauser Lake to Marissa and Roger's house for the weekend.  Saturday the weather wasn't great, but the night turned out amazing.  Josh was doing great surfing and rapping to Panda and Pep Rally. 

Luke on his belly, Tom in the middle, and Gabe on the right -- the makings of an excellent tube ride!  Luke's small enough to flip around a lot from on his belly to on his butt. Tom rode on his belly with his feet over the back for a while, crazy guy! 

The evening lake was incredible...check out his form and check out those sky colors!

Hang 10!

Luke was chilly after he wakeboarder, so he got the Rocky Robe to warm up in!  It's HUGE on the kids! 

I think he looks like some kind of Star Wars character in his giant robe. 

We had quite a crew with us! 6 families in total, 29 people! Just look at these cute kiddos!

We are lucky to have friends like this!  Left to Right -- Jenkins, Ryles, Tisdels, McDonough/Davis, Campbells, and Whitakers.  What a way to close our summer!
