Dancing at the pool house

Carol, Claire and Ashley dancing on their new stage, the pool house deck!

Swimming and flying!

We had a fun morning with our cousins from Iowa, Oliver, Berkeley, and Orson, in our pool! Sugar and Sollie were there to play with us,too. The older children love being "launched" in the air by the strongest adults! Today it was Lolly and Derek. Can you say Ben Gay? Be sure to watch the video. Just press the play button

Sugar wore her "Wonder Dog" cape for awhile, then changed and became OJ's sidekick.

A quiet evening @ Grammy's house

We all had dinner @ Grammy and Grandpa's house Tuesday night, then watched Miley Cyrus in concert and read books.

There's a new critter in town

Here's the Brayton's new kitten, Neve. Neve means snow in Portugese. We called Peter last night and had him tell us how to say and spell the new name. Pretty cute, huh? Sugar thinks it's a new toy so we haven't left them alone yet.

Sandridge fishing and hunting

Grammy, Grandpa, Dara, Tessa, Justin and Beau took Carol, Claire, Oliver, Berkeley, and Orson to George and Cecy's farm at Sandridge Saturday morning. We fished in the pond and everybody caught and released fish! It was blazing hot! On the way home, we passed Justin and Oliver on the driveway. Justin was clearing bushes and found a surprise! The "Great Hunter" Oliver and "Ellie Mae" Carol both had to have a turn holding it. Fun in the country!
