summer trips (part one)

summer trips are a lifesaver for me. i love my kids, but the days are long and it breaks up the time nicely when we can get out of town for a few days here and there. 

the kids and i took this trip without russ cause my cousin came in town from tennessee and russ was working. as is usual in tyler the kids played golf and swam the majority of the time. 

sweet baby clara. i completely forgot my dsr, but still had to snag a few shots with the iphone.

the week began with golf and swimming, and ended with golf and swimming.

my dad, the hero.
