Summer Weekends are HOT!

So when the weather forecast calls for temperatures pushing the upper 90's and 100's, what is a Cruz to do but head for the water. And thats what we did.

It took a new battery but we got our Waverunner up and running for the first time this summer.

Gloria and Jose joined us down at Clackamette park to hang out by the river.
Luis on the boat.
The kids each went for a ride. According to Mason, he was going "so fast"!!! In reality, he was going about 25 mph.
The kids were also thrilled to just play around in the water.
The Cruzes.
Me and my favorite toy.


Onward to Sunday, which was just as warm if not warmer. My cousin Shelley's significant other was in town from Minnesota so the Johnson's hosted a bbq so we could all meet him. Bessie and Art came out for the occasion.
Of course my cousin's Shelley and Travis were there.
And Berren. I think the chips were his favorite part.

Shelley's b-friend Adam is on the left and Dan is on the right.

This is my cousin Amanda and her boyfriend Tyson.

My kids were all about the swimming pool. They were in it more or less for 3 straight hours, stopping only briefly for food. Mason, living the life of luxury...
Siena learned how to use water wings. She's like a pro.
Heidi in action!

Wet Mason.
The Slip and Slide was also a hit, especially with the big kids. Tyson and Adam had a distance contest. Judging by this though, it could have been a biggest splash contest.

Shelley and Amanda poolside...
Is it me, or is this a look that says "you've taken enough pictures".

The siblings - Mary Lou, Joanne, and my dad. Its not often you catch them all sitting in a nice row like this.
Dan...in a dress?

The new couple talks sweetly to each other on the left, the long-term couple, they just do their homework.
Uh oh. Shelley's cat is in trouble now...
Kids and a Slip and Slide.
