We took the kids swimming the other day. No, not to the city pool in town, not to a friend in the neighborhood that has a pool (HA!!). Nope, we just took them down to one of our brand new stock tanks!! It's not too deep, but big enough for many kids. It's not going to get torn up by wind or dogs with sharp toenails. And if you don't mind the bottom being a bit rough from concrete, it's just right. Jeff's sister and her family were here for the weekend, so we had those two kids in there as well. Drew wasn't into the water. He was actually in another pickup off camera having fun honking the horn and hitting other buttons.

They appear to be having a good time.

You may have noticed a few dark clouds in the picture of the stock tank. Well, we got a little rain out of that. When I say a little, I mean about .10 inch. Very little. But made some neat pictures. Like this double rainbow south of us.

Or this of the rain coming off the roof. Here in the southwest, we don't need raingutters, it doesn't rain enough for them! But I thought the picture was kinda neat.

Drew is SO BIG! He loves to wear his new boots with shorts. And hey, at least my grass is green (I've also watered it alot this year. Benefits of having a well instead of city water with bans and restrictions on such things).

This is the scariest picture of them all. My laundry room. With no less than 5 loads of laundry. This should keep me busy most of the day. Washing, drying, folding, and maybe some ironing. Doing laundry with my washing machine requires a bit more supervision than most. The valve on the cold side sometimes doesn't shut off. So if I don't keep an eye on things, the result is a flood in the laundry room. So, I have to hang out, cut off the water from the wall if it doesn't shut off, then come back around in about 20 minutes to turn it back on again for the rinse cycle, repeat. And I have forgotten about it. Alot. Which results in ANOTHER load of laundry of the towels I used to clean up the flooded mess.
