We have been trying to keep the boys busy this summer.

School has been out almost since June 6, and so on going business.

The first couple of days we gave them a break, and then they just kind of laid back and took it easy, yea right!

Well, I had a schedule ready for the Monday that followed their last day of school.

Nothing worked out for us on that day. So I decided they needed a break from a schedule for a couple of days. Each day we have been keeping them busy though.

We have already had some work books to keep up with their school work.

They have been reading at least 20 minutes a day, for the Library Program this summer. So we go to the library every Tuesday, they play on the computers some, they read books, and get books and videos.

We have been able to play games with them, board games.

They have played some kick ball, it has been quite warm, so we don't take them out in the heat. They have gone swimming in the pool Mommy had gotten them.

We haven't got everything scheduled as we would like. But they seem to be having fun and still being able to learn. Today Becky didn't work so we took the two older boys to see a "free" Kid's Movie in Jupiter. They saw Over the Hedge. They really enjoyed that. then instead of buying snacks there, we told the boys that Aunt Becky would buy them lunch at McDonald's. So that is what we did.

We then on the way home we decided to stop in Tequesta, Fl. at a Park that we found one day. It is a beautiful park. We took some pictures of the boys. Well, and some of us too. So the next few pictures are it.

Self explanatory!
This is as you enter the gate into the Park.
This a little bit about what is in the park. There is a skate boarding, walking trail, well you can read on the picture.
We first saw these railings, we thought that it was a bridge. But as we checked it out it is a beautiful Gazebo. You will see in one of the pictures.
Guess who is here with the boys! You guessed it, Aunt Becky.
Some of the pictures are where the boys are just having some fun.

Guess who this is, yep, Grandma.

This is Ethan, it looks like he is having a good time. He will be 7 years old next week. He is one of two in his class that had all "A" Honor Roll. He so loves to read. He seems to know a lot about what is going on around us.

Then there is Evan, he will be six next month. He is doing so good in school. He is going into 1st. grade this fall. He loves to read also. He did real well in his Math.







This is where you can play basketball. One day we are going to bring the boys basketball so they can throw some hoops.

Here is the Gazebo I was talking about.




We have a lot of these little critters running around on Campus, but not this big, nor do their tails curl up. I even took a video of this one as he was running into the bushes.

After we finished at the park and returned to Hobe Sound, we stopped at the ocean there was a storm cloud we wanted to see over the water. They don't turn out as well in the pictures as you would like them too. This is it!

After we sat down to watch the cloud it then shortly started to rain. Again we got a video of it.
Here is the people that were out on the beach coming up out of the rain, as you can see the walk way is wet.


Just before we left the Pavilion!
Even though it was awful looking in the sky it was beautiful to look at what God does for us. He held third off while we were at the Park in Tequesta.
We then went to our apartment, for the Landlord and his son were painting the the girls house. We will be sure to send a picture when it is all done.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. It is so great to be able to do this blogging thing a little bit at a time.
Just wishing that my computer could get put up.
Well, maybe one day. I do so much on it and I don't feel that I do as I would if I had my own to work on.
Thank you again for stopping by. Until the next time.
May God be with you!
