Tuesday we thought it would be a nice day to spend at the lake with the boys. First we went on a short hike next to lake. Nathan wanted nothing to do with walking, so Papa carried him most of the way. That probably should have been my first sign that Nathan was tired and cranky that morning. After the hike we went down to the beach to play in the water. And Nathan who usually likes water completely refused to even get near it. At least Liam and Aidan enjoyed the water. Eventually we gave up and ate a picnic lunch and then headed home to put the cranky ones down for a nap.
Once all the kids were down for a nap everyone but Kerri who stayed to watch the boys left to go shooting. We had a blast shooting a 22 Rifle and a 22 pistol. We set up empty water bottles and soda cans and filled them with water as our targets. I was surprised to discover I was a pretty good shot with the pistol and hit 5 out of 6 of the targets I aimed at.

Really unhappy about getting into the water.
Shooting!

Later that evening just as Kerri and Adam were finishing preparing dinner we lost power due to a thunder storm. It lasted for several hours. Luckily it didn't seem to phase the kids to much and they still had a fun time playing with Papa and on the piano.
