4th of july at the lake
a perfect day with family and cousins
the 4th weekend was going to be busy driving 3+ hours to Midland to celebrate hannah's 1st birthday so we decided to chop of the driving and make a day trip to my parents' cottage. we met my sister and her 4 kids there for a day of swimming, fishing, grilling, toasting, and eating.
yep, we both do it! take picture after picture and then compare
josie and ellington finally realized they were the "littles" and played so well together. up until now elle has usually just observed and played on her own, but this time they started playing together, so much fun to see.
this little guy did so great! took awesome naps and loved hanging out with the big kids, who all wanted to babysit.
ellington was fearless in the water. this is her first time at the lake since she was a baby. last year the cottage was under construction and wasn't open. she loves swimming but a pool is a lot different than a lake. josh took her out earlier in the day and she jumped right off into the water, no worries at all!
thanks to the dads {josh and tim} my sister and i were able to get a short run in, mind you it was well over 80 and in the middle of the afternoon. so needless to say we jumped right in when we got back from our run.
5 kids on a canoe ride...good idea??
thanks uncle tim and aunt elizabeth for taking the risk...thankfully no one rocked the boat
happy 4th of july everyone
we are truly thankful for our freedom and enjoyed a day with family
