Is it cool inside there, Dad?

Tell me you didn’t listen to your teacher during the math lesson without telling me you didn’t listen to your teacher during the math lesson.

When last we spoke, I was going to tell you all about the big family cruise my mother treated us to, and, once again, time has gotten away from me.

So. Here are a few photos from that fun family trip . . .

When we were in Cabo, we were taking a little boat tour when out of nowhere, a stingray leapt from the waters and landed in our vessel.

I did not think anyone would believe me, so I captured it on film.

The most bestest part was that HD got extra close to the man next to him. And check out Kate’s toes/sandals situation.

HD to the stranger: So. Have you ever had a guy jump in your lap before?

Stranger: No. Honestly, I have not.

David and the captain of the boat each grabbed a towel and flung the stingray back into the ocean.

Before we left sunny southern California, we went and visited one of LD’s favorite places-

He’s a fan.

Life is busy. I am again teaching first grade, and I still love it. It is, however, exhausting, and I do not know how long I can keep it up. We are in the midst of a remodel so that is always fun. HD is a senior, LD is a junior, Hadley is working in Montana, and Kate is working and applying to get into med school.

Today, we all helped David with some cow chores. At the end, David wanted to try his hand (get it) at pregnancy checking.

I snapped a photo. Because I am who I am.

David’s first pregnancy check.

Kate gets all geeked out about this stuff right now and wanted to try next.

“Is it cool inside there, Dad?”

Happy Sunday!
