4th of July Week

We had a fun time last week for the 4th.  We headed over to the cabin on Tuesday and came back Sunday, so it was a full week of fun and relaxation....and pretty good weather too!!

This guy loves to wear other people's shoes!

Starting to find her fingers!

 The kids had fun with dad in the row boat.  Hayden and Lilly even got to go fishing a couple of times...but no luck.  The mountain (Mt. Rainier) was out though each day and beautiful!

 Bath time in the sink.

 Grace loved when Grandpa talked to her and became so alert every time she heard his voice.

 kicking in the water (there's room for Grace!)

 Dipping hands in the water (that's about all he liked doing).  He didn't want to get too wet in the cold water, but liked dipping his hands....although one day Piper walked by him and accidentally pushed him off the dock.  Good thing he was wearing his life jacket and barely made it into the water before someone pulled him back out!

 Grace's new quilt from Grandma.  It is really pretty (you'll have to zoom in).  Each block has a different animal made of really soft material.

 Deep conversation by the campfire

 Strawberry Shortcake

 Grandma had fun activities planned for the kids.  They got to decorate cans and then try to knock them over with bean bags.

 Dad teaching Lilly good tricks!

 No longer fitting in the bassinet!!  Caleb got to sleep up in the loft this year with the big kids.

 Filling up water balloons for our balloon hunt

 and taking a few sips in between!

 hmmm.....what will we do with these??

 "cousins"

 What do you think he's thinking about?

 Fun floating on the tubes

 Colleen and Ryan went to Disney World a few weeks ago and brought the kids back fun Mickey hats!!

 Falling asleep at dinner (I think we have a picture like this of Hayden about the same age)...the cabin must be an exhausting place to be!!

 Uncle Ryan brought LOTS of legos to play with.....here is the "world's longest carrot!"

 Sparkler fun

It was a great week seeing family and just relaxing before a hectic couple of weeks to get ready for VBS.  Happy Summer!!
