Labor Day weekend was hot like it normally is but it was especially HOT this year. We have had a relatively nice summer of not too many extremely hot days so go figure the weekend we actually get out it is blazing hot. Not wanting to be out in the miserable sun all day with the children we did try to make the best of it. Brady and I are not lake people. Lake water is just nasty and we don't enjoy getting all sweaty anymore. Boating is fun and we enjoy the great fishing. Brady took the H's fishing. Hunter caught his first fish all by himself! He was so cute re-telling me about his experience. Hailey made me teary eyed as she took Grayson when it was time for his nap and put him to sleep. He was all snuggled up on her shoulder fast asleep. She loves Grayson and would prefer to mommy him all the time. Grammy bought the H's new bikes to keep at the lake. They have bikes here and now they have some there. Hailey got one that has a bunch of gears she needs to figure out. She was excited to ride around the circle with Brady. Hunter's bike is a bit too big for him. He rides his bike here quite fast but still uses his training wheels. The training wheels that were purchased for the new bike didn't fit so he didn't get to test out his new bike. He was bummed but took it in stride. We are going to see if we can swap them out on his one here. Hopefully in the next few months, we can practice riding without the training wheels. Thanks Grammy for the new lake bikes! I did take the kids swimming for a bit down by the docks. Grayson hated every minute of it. That was fun. Not. We did take a trip in the new taxi boat over across the lake to eat with uncle Michael. The H's always love a boat ride and their uncle Michael. Looking forward to cooler weather to go out and enjoy being outside. My favorite season is coming up!

We did find this cool house lizard that entertained us and this curious praying mantis outside. Fun to find creatures not normally seen!
