Beautiful Minnehaha Falls
All of my pictures are a bit out of order, but there are a few good ones I wanted to make sure I don't forget to post. Prior to our last trip to visit my family in Branson and to attend Family Camp, we made a day trip to Minnehaha Falls with our friend Jack and his mom, Melissa. It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun hiking the trail to the waterfall. The boys did some swimming in the water at the bottom of the falls and we had lunch and played at the playground nearby. It was a lot of fun and we were all quite tired at the end of the day.
Luke and Liam played in their final hockey tournament with the AAA hockey team they were playing with over the summer. We played a few tournaments in April and May then took a nice break over the summer before we picked up practice again at the end of July. While the tournament games didn't go very well for their team, they did manage to win the final game and Luke received the Star Player award which he was thrilled about. He will be treating all of us to a free pizza sometime soon!
Sadly, the summer is nearing an end, but it has been a good one with lots of activities and lots of memories. One of our main activities all summer long has been swimming at our neighborhood pool. This is the first year we have had a pool in our neighborhood as this was a new amenity in our new house that we moved to last summer. While I thought it would be cool to have a nearby pool, I never quite realized how much we would enjoy it. Every summer day when it was warm enough to swim, we tried to be there and we invited our friends to join us which made it even more fun!
