"Give me 20 minute of kayaking and I'll buy you O Wow Cow!!!"

This is the sentence I spoke to my lovely family over the weekend.  Sometimes we all need a bit of motivation to get out and do things we don't normally do.  I'm happy to report that it worked and we had a great maiden voyage on our kayaks!

We started the day with a great breakfast made by Allie!

Little bit of relaxing before we hit the lake!

The water was cold!!  Kiddos didn't seem to care!

And here we go!  They had to log a full 20 minutes to earn the ice cream!

Once we got going, I think everyone really enjoyed it!!

Mike stumbled upon 2 snapping turtles who were fighting!  I tried to get a picture and video...

                                                  

We logged our 20 minutes and then headed back to shore!  Off for ice cream!

 I had a lovely month of May with celebrating my birthday and Mother's Day.....

Mike and the kids made me this awesome bday cake!!!

Delicious!

Ran in my 8th Half-Marathon!

Also got a personal record!

Here are a few pictures Rhysee Peese!!

 The kids and I saw Nathan Chen in Stars on Ice!

 We've been taking in a lot of sporting events....

Allie's been doing a great job at all of Cam's bball games!

Cam got his first home run and earned the game ball!

Super proud of him!

Allie is in her second season of softball and doing very well on the mound!

 Flag football continues to be a fun Saturday morning event!

Let's go Dolphins!


Allie did a great job in capturing the following footage!

We re-did the deck as part of my bday/Mother's Day celebration!

 Decided to dig up the time capsule...only 7 years early!

We had some problems finding it.....

Success!!!

It's a good thing we dug it up!  It was NOT waterproof.  We salvaged what we could and plan to bury another one that is a bit more airtight!
