After a whole week of being outside, swimming, and playing in the sand, the kids woke up on Saturday wanting to go swimming. They were in their swim gear and ready to role at 9:00 a.m.
Morning swim
I went and got my hair highlighted, and apparently the price has gone up since the last time I got it done. It went from $60 to $85! I came home with a highlighting kit from Wal-Mart a few days before I got it done, and Chad just looked at me like I was crazy. I'm glad I took it back and had someone do it for me. That could have been very, very bad. Don't they say blondes have more fun?
Grammy and Papa got the pontoon boat floating on Saturday, and we managed to go for a ride before the rain set in. It was a lot of fun watching all of the other boats and jet skiers out on the rough water. Chad sat in the front of the boat so that he could redirect any water that might come aboard. Good job, honey! Is it raining?? =)

After the boat ride, Sophie and I headed to Patrick Bradley's (Lindsey's boyfriend) last art show before they move away. I'm glad we made it there in time because not more than ten minutes after we got there, Patrick proposed to Lindsey! They both are such wonderful people, and we are so excited for them! By the way, Patrick is an amazing artist! Check out his stuff:

For Father's Day, Chad went golfing with his dad, Uncle Loyd, Ethan, and Uncle Roger. They all had a great time and really enjoyed the golf course. Then we all went over to Grandma and Grandpa's for supper, and it was a scrumptious meal, as always!

Mama: "What happened to you?"
We have been doing a lot of fishing lately. Usually after supper, we will all pack up and head out to the surrounding lakes. We went to one of the lakes around, and the kids caught tons of bluegill. There was a gentleman fishing next to us who had caught a ginormous bullfrog and brought it over for the kids to see. Quite interesting.
