Just roll with it

Yesterday, for boy2's birthday, we rented a boat for the day and went tubing on the lake.

The Brain's wonderful cousin came along - Thank God! - she is amazing with the kids and they have so much fun when she is around.

Before we even got on the boat, boy 2 got stung by a bee!! Let me tell ya', that kid is tough! Of course he cried a little, until we told him that the bee's natural punishment for stinging is death. That seemed to perk him up considerably- not sure if I should be worried, but that's another matter.

After a few hours of playing on the water, it started to rain. For most people this would signify the end of the day, but not for us. Boating/tubing in the rain is fun! (no need to fret - once the lightning came we stopped tubing) Picture this: 2 adults, one quasi adult, and 2 kids dancing and singing along to the radio, on pontoon boat, in the middle of the lake. How much more fun can you have?

Sometimes things don't go as planned. Sometimes you have to make adjustments. And sometimes those bumps in the road make the best memories.

Interesting...but what they don't tell you at the end is that there is a main road across the water and a bridge very near.. the cannons could  very well be headlights

He made it!

Boy 2 turned 6 today!!

With as accident prone as he is, we are pleasantly surprised!

Off to make his Birthday Dinner - Pancakes, sausage, and cheese eggs!
