Vacation

This is a much overdo post.  I've been anxious to get some pictures of our week at the cabin up, but our computer was sick.  I sent it with Uncle Brent (the computer Dr.) to get it fixed so it was out for 2 weeks and is now back up and going after a large surgery.  Thanks Uncle Brent!!! 

So yes, three weeks ago we headed up to the cabin to spend a few days with Aunt Lisa, Uncle Brent, and the 5 cousins.  They arrived on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday afternoon.  The weather was cool, but we still had a great time.  We're hoping that next year they'll come and stay a little longer.  Thursday Mema & Boppa arrived, and Friday Uncle Wes & Aunt Janna arrived.

We spent the 4th of July going to a parade, Grant's first.  Ava loved picking up candy, although she's not quite as aggressive as some of the others up there.  That evening we headed over to Grandma Nena's and Grandpa Dick's for a BBQ.  Saturday afternoon we packed up and headed home in time to go to a party down the street.

Here are some pictures from our time up there.  I'm still trying to figure out where the pictures from mini golfing went.  Hopefully they will appear in the next post. 

 

Working on our hula hooping

Taking care of the yard (while still holding onto his ball)

Even Grant got to play football (he's not quite as serious about it as cousin Reece who is decked out in his full football uniform/pads/helmet)

Ava's kick off

Getting ready to head out and swim in the very cold lake.

Ava wasn't so sure about riding the jet ski.  However, by the end she was yelling, "faster, faster"

Reece & Ava enjoying one of many snacks throughout the day.

Oops, the boat died while Nate had the girls out tubing.  Brent towed it in using the jet ski. 

 Looks like Grant is looking for a new car

Fishing

Ava wearing her goggles in the boat.  I love how dorky she looks in this picture.  Makes me laugh every time I see it. 

Grant LOVED corn on the cob (although there's not much he doesn't like)

A little picnic while waiting for the parade to start

Daddy, Mema, & Mommy at the parade

Ha!  Grant loves himself some banana.

Having fun at the parade

Doing a little trimming of the flowers they planted earlier this summer.
