Boat day!

We don't do it often, but every now and again we go up and borrow Grandma and Papa H's boat.  We're grateful to have access to one, especially with the kiddos being such water babies... And not having a pool this year.  I think the pictures are pretty self explanatory.

 

We brought Ozzi with us since he has such bad separation anxiety.  He did really well.  Wouldn't say he liked it, I'm pretty sure he ended up a little sick... But he was a champ and the kids loved having him with us.

Sheep lake with Alan

The kids and I had been wanting to go on a hike.  I brought it up to Alan and it turned out he was supposed to meet some friends on the trail end of their backpacking trip up at Sheep's Lake.  We drove separately since his plan was to stay the night and then give his friends a ride home.  

Awesome neighbor Alan!  If you look at his feet.... He brought all his backpacking stuff and forgot shoes!  He did the whole thing in sandals!  When we got up there the kids happily helped him set up his tent. I love that they're helpful.

 It was cool enough that the kids didn't want to go in the water. Until Kayda offered Carson $30 if he went in and under.  He did it, and yes, I made her give him the money.

When the kids were ready to head back

Alan decided that he didn't want to stay the night. So we helped him pack his stuff and headed down the trail together.  He planned to drive up to the trailhead and pick his friends up the next day instead of staying.
 

Dillon's Invisalign

We finally got a consult for Dillon for braces. The deal was, cosmetic was his choice, function was required.  He ended up with multiple things for his bite the orthodontist was concerned about.  Some of which was an overbite and a cross bite. Combine it with the fact that he's a grinder we opted to have him get braces.  Invisalign was about $400 more, which isn't fun BUT Daddy and I kind of forced him that route.  He's responsible and there are so many restrictions and pain that come from braces that don't exist with Invisalign.  The only pitfall is having to brush your teeth after you eat and put it back in.  Which can be really annoying at school for lunch. 

The assistants there are much better with their scanner now.  It took about 10 minutes. When they first got the machine Kayda was one of the first patients, it took 20+ minutes.  Sad that we've been dealing with braces for so long.  He got scanned June 15th.

Time to get the trays!  July 7th.
