Hot, Hot, Hot!!

It's summer in St. Louis and that means heat and humidity....and only one relief, the pool!

This weekend Auntie E invited us over to the pool and we swam all day.  Our two little swim bugs were in and out and all about the pool.  Aidan even went off the diving board!!!  Here's some pictures:

Swim Guy #2!

E taking a pretzel time-out...what a goofy smile.

Here's Aidan doing his "shark"...nice!

So a couple of hours into our fun, we decided to get out the floats and just relax.  While Aidan was maxing and relaxing on the float, boy was he surprised when Daddy "dive bombed" him from the board.  Kaboom!!

Just relaxing.....

Auntie E and Mookie!

Giddy up!

Because we hadn't seen Auntie E and her family in a while, we did some Mookie Mookie Birthday celebration!  They sure spoil that little guy!  Thank you Auntie E and family!!

Checking out his new bubble leaf blower....very cool!

 Loving his new Lightning McQueen relaxing chair!!

So today, we all got up early and headed to Church.  By in large the boys are getting better, with Aidan scoring an A+ and E a solid B today, which was fantastic because if they were good we had a little surprise in store.  For lunch we all headed into the city down to a new place we had never been.  Occasionally, a St. Louis company called Fitz's does a demo at Costco.  Fitz's makes fantastic root beer and other types of carbonated soda (grape, cream, orange, etc.), and it's pretty well known for them across the midwest.  They have a restaurant in their brewery so we decided to check it out and boy were we impressed!   It was really nice, food was good and we got to watch them bottle, cap and label the root beer.  It isn't a huge place and they are no where near the capacity of say a bigger place, but it was just a really nice time and hopefully a new tradition to take the Grammy's and Grandpas when they come and visit.  Here's some shots:

That's it, the bottling, capping, mixing and labeling. Cool place.

Aid liked the factory, but he (and his brother) REALLY liked the root beer!!! :)

That's all, stay cooooool this week.

Tyler, Emmy, Aidan and Ethan
