A wonderful weekend

Hi everyone!


Well, we are still trying to catch up on stuff around here after visiting family for a long 4th of July weekend.  The weather was extremely hot (well past 100F most days),  so we didn't spend as much time outside as usual, but everyone still had a wonderful time.  Here are some of the highlights of a weekend at the lake --

Watching fireworks from the boat in the evening

 Finding a new "pet"

Lots and lots of swimming!





Storytime on a rainy afternoon

Finally had the chance to fix the oil pump on my chainsaw, which required taking the entire thing apart. Thanks for the help, little brother! Hey Dad - did you know that instead of using a "cylinder lock tool" (which I don't have and can't afford) to remove the clutch, you can just take out the spark plug and stuff the hole with a small diameter rope to jam the cylinder?  Handy little trick I stumbled across on a forum somewhere, don't even remember where...

Joy's first haircut - she's definitely not a baby anymore!

 Helping Aunt K wash the car...  
Helping may not be the best word to use.

More boat rides

 General silliness - even the turtle got involved

I hope you all got to enjoy family and friends this holiday too!
