Lake Vacation

We took a whole week of work a couple weeks ago and spent the time at a cabin on the lake. Several people from both sides of my family have had cabins on that lake and a few still do. While there I realized that my kids are approximately the fifth generation to enjoy spending summertime at that particular lake.

In the interest of full disclosure, you will not see any pictures of the kids frolicking in the water and fishing with Eric. Although I would be the first to shove more pictures of my adorable kids in your face, those pictures do not exist. I was too worried about dropping the camera in the lake or getting sand on it or forgetting it on the dock or throwing it down somewhere unsafe for cameras to run fish Micah out of the water to worry about getting pictures of my cute little kids in swimsuits. They did spend a good bit of time in the water and on the beach. Grace loved playing in the water and digging in the sand with a plastic shovel. Micah would still be sitting in about four inches of water splashing as hard as he could if we hadn't picked him up and taken him home with us.

Since we were only a few minuets from my sister Rachel she was able to come out a couple of times. My mom and brother David stayed at the main cabin next door for a couple of nights and my dad even spent one night while passing through. I was also able to see my grandpa and one of my aunt's families, including a cousin that I have not seen in a couple of years.

Here is a picture of the little kids waiting for Grandpa to show up. You should have seen how excited Gracie got when she saw dad get out of the car, I think she pushed Remy down while trying to open the door.

Mr Man got two more teeth that week! After five long months of getting by with only four teeth he is now up to six. As you can tell, cutting teeth is no big deal for him, he is always happy.

Is that not one of the cutest smiles you have ever seen?

Careful observation will reveal the relative humidity that week was pretty high. Grace's hair was in tight ringlets the whole time. It was so cute! I would brush it out in the morning and within a half hour it would be back to ringlets.
