Wet and Wild

We can always count on it to be blazing hot here in the summer. Today was no different. Sam had to work this morning so we mostly hid in the air conditioning. After he got off we all headed down to the creek for a swim. We thought the dogs might have a good time so we took them down with us. I completely forgot to bring my camera down from the car but this is how they were on the way back to the house.
Every one had a great time. There were wild blackberries on the other side of the creek so Joe and Sam took Joli over there and they picked until their stomachs hurt. Ashley and I sat in about two inches of water and kept the dogs from running off. Jax didn't really want to get in the water and Brody either wanted to swim over to Joe or sit in my lap. It's not such a big deal now but when he's twice the size he is now it might not be as comfortable. Before too long we started to head back to the car, and then back to Sam's house to swim some more in the pool. Joli enjoyed this because didn't have her life jacket down at the creek so she couldn't really swim too much there.Brody was also excited to be able to get in some good swim time as he kept being pulled downstream while at the creek.
I think he was tired though because he didn't stay in too long.
Before too long we were all bored of the pool and Sam talked us into doing a slip and slide out front. Joli was thrilled at the idea but then once the opportunity was there she did NOT want to get on it. It helped that Joe kept spraying with the hose!
After a few minutes Joli went in to take a nap and the boys went nuts playing in the water. The dogs thought it was so fun watching them slide across and then jumping on them once they stopped.
Here's Joe going head first into the water.
Another nice sliding shot.
Now the duo goes.
Here they are doing their best beached whale impression.
Jax is such a little turd. He wants to wrestle with Brody all the time and after awhile Brody just wants to take a nap. Here's Jax all bummed out 'cause Brody's sleeping again.
Joe has decided that once we get our rec room we are buying a bunch of these giant bean bag chairs. They are pretty awesome and very comfortable. Jax has plenty of room even as Joli jumps up and down!
Another enjoyable day, off to start another one.
