Life never seems to be very dull around here. Our weekend was relaxed and fun. Besides all of the photos below, we also went to our community pool. We usually take the kids to the back pool that is geared more towards little kids. Well, we braved the big pool with the HUGE slide. Isaac took right off and loved it. I took Josiah down the slide the first time and didn't realize how fast it was. WOW! He and I both went under the water. And then Jay took Olivia down the slide. They all kept begging for more. Well, actually, WE all kept begging for more. Jay and I kept sneaking away to slide solo. I'm taking my camera next time. :)
The boys took their links and made tails out of them. The tails went way behind me in this picture. They played with these for two days!

Okay, so I feel a little strange for posting this picture. But I can't help myself. This is a drawing done by Isaac. He says that it is a snake eating Satan, and that is Satan's foot sticking out of the bottom of the snake. Ironic. And a little different from the Batman drawings we usually get.
We spent the hottest afternoon known to man in downtown St. Augustine. Sweat was rolling down our backs. UGH! But it is such a neat place to visit. I want to spend a girls weekend in St. Augustine. Any takers??
In this photo, Olivia is listening to her voice echo in the cannon.
This cracked me up. The boys were pretending to be a statue. How did they think of this? I love the face Isaac was making.
I don't know what to call this man. Oh, Jay says that he has the last street musician's license issued by the city of St. Augustine. haha
He played "This Old Man" on the accordion and made the monkeys dance. He also made the boys pose with him for a picture. They obliged.
Walking down St. George Street. The street is made out of coquina shells and the shops are old and so, so fun! (Oh, and Josiah is studying his map.)
At the end of our time downtown, Isaac made a mad dash for the car (with air conditioning!!!) and Josiah made himself comfortable in Jay's arms.
I had to take a picture of a road that we drove down. This is what it looks like where we live (well, not in the developments...but around the area). I was shocked when I first visited. I expected all palm trees and open skies. But I love it and think that it's so beautiful!
We always pass by this carousel when we enter and leave St. Augustine. And the kids usually beg us to stop. We figured that after we dragged them downtown in the awful heat, we owed them some fun. :) They were SO EXCITED!!!
Isaac's all smiles.
Josiah was ready!
I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't realize how terrified Olivia looked. Ha!
I think she had fun.
The boys reading up on some Pottery Barn. My kind of guys!
All ready for Father's Day. The boys dressed themselves and did okay. (Josiah wore his blue Crocs...hahaha)

I LOVE that last picture. I may have to print that one off for the frig. Count me in for the girls weekend!!! (maybe when it is a little cooler?!? I will start watching for cheap flights from Amarillo!!)
I was thinking the same thing---I think I'm going to have to print off that last pic! I love Isaac's drawing, love the tails, too! And the street musician? Looks like Clarence McDaniel to me!!! ha! I can remember feeling that way about a carousel, too, Olivia....
Great pictures! I love being able to keep up with you guys! It does look beautiful there. I would love to visit some day.
It did look hot! But it looked like everyone had a blast! AThe last picture is precious - happy father's day Jay!
I love these pictures!!! Talk to me about your new camera! I want to know if you love it and if it's making a huge difference...
how far is St. Augustine from San Antonio?? :)
super pics! I'm in for a trip to St. Augustine, but maybe the fall when it is cooler!!!! The kids are so big and they look wonderful!
Katy- YES! Definitely when it's cooler. I wouldn't torture myself like that for a whole weekend. :) Oh, and print away.
Mom- It DOES look like Clarence. I thought he looked familiar.
Tamra- Come with Katy. :)
Dawn- We did have fun. Our kids just have to grin and bear it for their parents. ha
Emily- Well, I have to use the camera first to let you know! ha. Jay was gone a lot right after I got the camera, so I didn't really have a chance to mess with it. Now I'm just being lazy and I need to crack down and dust the cobwebs out of my brain. It's a lot more different from the D50 than I imagined. But I'll let you know!!
You would LOVE it in St. Augustine. I thought about you when I saw all of the quaint restaurants and shops. Fun fun!
Allison- Did you guys visit that part of St. Augustine when you were here? Hitch a flight with Katy and Tamra. :)
I love all the pics. What a great Father's Day weekend. It does really look hot!
I'm so jealous that you got to spend the day in St. Augustine! That place looked like so much fun. I'm surprised you didn't go back to that beautiful church and take more pictures to post. I miss those kids lots! (and you too!)
Too cute, as always! Looks like you all had so much fun!
The snake eating Satan picture reminds me of that Shel Silverstein poem, I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor. Claire loves the end "Oh dread its up to my..." she laughs so hard and says "it ate his head!"
Jean- thanks! And believe it! It WAS hot! ha
Lindsey- I had no idea how fun that town is. I'm definitely going back when it's cooler!
Sarah- YES! It was fun.
Cari- THAT'S what the drawing reminds me of. I couldn't place it. I keep telling Isaac that he could be an artist... a mini Shel. :) Oh, Claire. She's a hoot.
