since we've been gone.

It's been a wee bit since I've posted (17 days to be exact). Sorry for that... but not really, because if I was truly sorry I would've blogged.

Here are the last 17 days in photos.

Monkey finished up swim lessons. 

GMac and Uncle Drew caught a small fish.

Then Dreqw caught a sting ray! 

You'll just have to believe me as the guy got away right before he could be grabbed.

But Drew drew quite the crowd. 

Mainly because everyone was afraid to get in until they saw what it was. 

Monkey turned 5!

GMac threw a Minnie Mouse party for her.

Water balloon fight! 

Quick stop in Nashville on our way to Southern Illinois (where I took no photos). 

Dined at Merchants which was sublime, the rest of the town, not so much. 

And now we're back to the regular grind. 

The pool. 

Snacking on the large rock.

And making LOTS of noise in the back yard.
