Soaking Up the Last Weeks of Summer

It has been a good couple of weeks for the Hossler boys + mommy. Mark heads back to work on Tuesday so we really tried to take advantage of his time off. We headed down to Destin and had a very good time. Both boys went in the ocean and played in the waves which was exciting to see. The water was crystal clear and very nice temperature ( and I am a wimp). The boys slept much better than they usually do when out of town so that was amazing. Jacob loved staying busy and going from the beach to the pool to the bookstore to play trains :) Jacob especially loved the porch and constantly wanted to go out and play and look at the ocean. When we got back daddy had a surprise waiting- a fish tank (donated by Pop). So it has been a work in progress but we now have goldfish. Yes we decided on the 13 cent fish to start out with. It ended up being a good decision as we already had one casualty, who was "swimming on the carpet" (Jacob's words) thanks to Fatty the cat's assistance. So now the fish is "swimming in the toilet" too. But it looks very good now thanks to Pawpaw donating some beautiful coral from his past salt water fish tank hobby. Mark now wants "real fish" and is contemplating buying some semi aggressive ones to weed out the weaker goldfish ( a great display of natural selection he says :) This past weekend we went to the lake with Mamaw and Pawpaw and had a great time. Jacob loved driving the boat and fishing with worms. We even caught some 3 fish which made it exciting for sure. Emma was the best fisher dog and waited patiently for the fish to arrive. It has been a great couple of weeks and we are blessed to be able to enjoy family and relax.
