Boating with PapaBob and Meemom!

So happy to have PapaBob and Meemom here for the summer! 

We were very excited to get them out on their pontoon boat! 

 No worries. . . Ben's at the wheel! 

 We've taken tubing to a whole new fun level. . . .well, I guess for the ones on the boat . . . 

 with throwing water balloons at the tube riders!

 

 Docked the boat for a little fun looking for clams!  

 Brielle has been afraid of getting on the tube! 

I think this was her first time!!! 

 And she loved it!! 

Taylor and PapaBob comparing sandwiches . . .which one was better? 

 We always have yummy snacks and drinks for treats on the boat,

that we don't normally have!  Such a fun part of boating!  

 A few of the happy boaters! :-)  

(We were down by two . . .

Kyle was at an all-day volleyball tournament, and Valerie was hiking Mt. Adams with some friends!) 

 I really love all the facial expressions on the tube riders! 

I always take lots of pictures to try to capture those expressions,

but then it is hard to choose which ones to post!  :-) 

Here's just a few!! 

(Sorry about the blurry ones!!!) 

Cutest Grandbaby Ever Meets Meemom for the First Time! :-)

This One's for Joe!

Our Joe is into all kinds of reptiles right now!   We recently took him to a reptile presentation at our local library.  These are a few of the critters that we saw . . ..  

A couple hours after this presentation,

there was another one (hosted by this man's son) in Chehalis. 

So, Joe wanted to go to that one too!

Since Daddy took him to that one, I wasn't there with my camera, but they told me that there were lots of different critters . . . like an alligator, a cobra and a rattlesnake and a Sulcata tortoise (like the one Joe owns).  Now he wants to go to their Reptile Zoo in Monroe, WA for his birthday! :-)
