Last weekend we were able to go down to spend some time with Uncle D and Aunt L.  On Saturday we had a great time going out in their boat with them!  Thanks D and L!  I wish I had taken more pictures, but this is all I’ve got.

The neatest houseboat community we’ve ever seen, on Lake Union!

My cutie pie showing off his missing tooth.

Baby B was so cute all bundled up.  She seemed very comfortable and contented despite barely being able to move!

All the kids loved to sit up front with Uncle D.  Here is Darius fitting in a much needed nap.  Later, on the way back, they all took turns driving and scaring Mommy in the back seat.  Josiah made big “S” curves in the water, and Chloe turned us in a fast circle.  Uncle D had to slow us right down as we bounced over our own wake on that one!

Overall, it was such a great time!  A once in “longtime” thing for us.  Hmmmm…maybe we should get a boat…? 

The kids finished off the day today(07/15/08) on a good note, with a rousing waterfight.  I found out that the teams were Uncle A. and Chloe against Darius and Josiah…..this didn’t seem too fair to me, but it worked out amazingly well.  Chloe was much bolder with Andrew backing her up, and Josiah seemed to enjoy the challenge.  Darius mostly kept his distance and found a very big stick with which to defend himself. 

“Uh,oh!  There’s no back exit in here!”

Refueling truce.

Trying to be intimidating.

I have tons of blog posts to catch up on, but I think this is cuter for now…why does “Lord of the Flies” come to mind?  Come to think of it…that’s been happening a lot lately as I watch our boys playing outside with all their dirt and sticks.
