Arizona - summer 2014

 Swim Dudes

Underwater Kyle 

Underwater Ryan 

 Uncle Matt's personal space bubble was compromised outside of the water and it was shattered in the water

 Don't ask me why they are in a hula hoop

 Both boys were very happy to be in Papa's awesome pool

 We took a trip to the butterfly museum.  Here Uncle Matt is pretending to be a butterfly that landed on Ryan's head

 Butterflies have a varying effect on these guys

 There is always opportunity for dramatic faces

 Pretty butterfly - I called it the OSU butterfly

 Butterfly bench - only one boy agreed to be pictured on it

 This is apparently how the boys believe that butterflies will be attracted to land on them - Bobsled Butterfly Pose

 The Mesa Natural History Museum was really awesome!

 Panning for gold

 Digging for bones, mischievously

 More pool time

Cannonball!!!! 

 I like this photo because it looks like the boys are walking on water.  Perfectly timed.

 My brother has dubbed this photo "awkwardfamilyphotos.com"

 Ryan's swimming prowess grew by leaps and bounds

 And what is more fun that Uncle Matt throwing you around in the pool while your Nana gasps in fright?

 Ryan is always ready to take flight...

... or take a flight.  My brother's face is awesome! 

 Personal space: about to be dunked

 A photo of the sky from under water

 Now swimming without goggles

 I love the composition of this photo

 ATV dudes!

 I call this photo "blackmail" for when Kyle and Ryan are 18years old.

 Papa needed help painting the trees.  One of the odd things that Arizonans do to survive in the desert.

 ATV brother fun

 Nana and Papa took the boys to the Hall of Flame, firefighter museum.

 Ryan had a blast

He was so happy and that made Papa so happy 

 

 

Twinsies Day!
