sandy river

We spent the day down at the sandy river today with our friends Mark and Becky and their son Liam.  It was really hot, but alot of fun.  Max already loves being outside and loved dipping his little feet in the water.  Wyatt had a blast with his buddy (they are only two weeks apart), just playing in the sand, throwing rocks, and watching the little baby duckies swim by.  

It was fun to spend the day as a family, and even tho I love Max being my little baby, I can't help but think how much fun next summer is going to be when he can run around with his big brother and play with the other kids.  I don't want him to grow up because it's already going by so quickly, but I still look forward to watching him grow and start crawling and talking and then walking.

I love summertime with the kids because even if there is nothing to do and we have no money, the boys (mostly Wyatt) are happy just being outdoors and enjoying the sunshine.  I'm taking them berry picking tomorrow, which I think Wyatt will love, but I do plan on doing that early in the morning because its supposed to be over 100 degrees tomorrow!!  But we love eating fresh berries and I think that Wyatt will have fun picking them.

Anyways, here's a few pictures from the river today.  I didn't bring my camera with me or I would have more, because I already had about a million things I had to cart down to the water with us, but I did manage to steal a few from my friend Becky's camera.

Little Max, loving sitting on my lap in the water so he can dangle his toes in the river.

Wyatt and his buddy Liam, all dirty and covered in sand. Typical little boys.
