End of season pool party!  We'll start with pics of the belly flop contest.  Here's a pretty good on of Bart:

Luke:

Walter's reign as champion continued:

Mary Clark had a cute belly flop, too, but I kept missing her flop and just getting her splash.

Emma covered herself in cicada skins during the picnic dinner.  lol.

Time for the money dive!  Here's Emma and Cora:

Bart has graduated to the big pool!

And Rebecca is in the diving well now!

Luke gets the junior pool, still.

Mary Clark is there, too.

Off they go!

These are from Walter's phone.  We got some time at the lake before coming back for the pool party.  And he got an extra picture of Emma before the money dive.

 

Today the Stifflemires joined us at the lake.  It's been a party!

We went home for church and the big girls figured out how to use the hoverboard with two people on it.  lol.  I'm impressed!

And Emma made delicious brownies.

Labor Day Weekend at the Lakhouse!  The Taylors came out for a little while.

Mom and Sue Zupko got a ride!

A little bit sassy.  lol.

 

Today I checked Rebecca out of school because she was having stomach pains that seemed like it could be her appendix.  Sure enough, that's one of the first things they checked her for when we got to the ER and thankfully they didn't find an issue there.  After several hours in the ER and a couple different kinds of imaging they decided that it wasn't anything pressing and referred us to a gastroenterologist.  We've been through that now and she has acid reflux and was also prescribed a medication that relaxes the intestines.  The intense intestinal cramping is probably what was causing the pain today.  It was a long day, but we're thankful it was nothing more serious!

We also found that our freezer doesn't stay closed well on its own and has gotten frosted over.  So we had to defrost it and Walter installed this latch on it to keep it closed.

We had a family movie night and MC and I got some good snuggles.

And earlier Mary Clark and Ella got to make some cookies together.

Happy Birthday to Harvey!  He had a pool party which even included a money dive and pinata!
