Michael tries Waterskiing

Michael decided he wanted to try to water ski so out we went! In Aunt Beth and Uncle David's boat, with Pepa Tony driving, Chris photographing, and Joshua and Matthew watching we gave it a whirl.

Positioning our hands on the boom.

Yea Michael!!

Matthew tries his hand at the helm.

Our friendly boys have good river etiquette.

Tupper Lake, August 2008

We went to beautiful Tupper Lake, NY in August this summer. The boys had a blast swimming (in the COLD river and the HOT hot tub), canoeing, hiking, biking, watching the Olympics, playing with their cousins, and being generally doted on by the Johnsons of Racquette River Drive! This is a view of the river from Aunt Beth and Uncle David's dock:

SMORES!

Matthew loves corn!

because corn is so funny!

July 19th

Saturday July 19th was a very exciting day for all of us. First the Nicol boys came over in the morning to play. While the "Big Boys" made space ships and police boats out of Lego's, Matthew zoomed around the house pushing his stroller. Chris and I are continually amazed at how much more we seem to be able to get done with these six boys at our house than with just our three!

Shortly after the Nicol boys left Christina arrived with her two. After some bike riding, more Lego's, and a short stint with the Playmobil people we went to the new University Town Center for pizza and playing in the fountains:

Safety first.

What are the Brown Boys up to today?

I know you are wondering how our Turkeys are doing so Chris and I (having been inspired by m&m's Animal Farm) decided that we would start a blog and then do our best to update it. So here they are, the little turkeys we know and love!

We dug out some t-shirts Greg, Amy, Kate and I had growing up and took some pictures before leaving for the pool:

July 10th

Matthew slept through dinner then woke up as we were putting the boys to bed. So the boys get a story from Dad:

The flash was off on these, so it looks like they were taken in the 70's...
