Cabin Trip, July 2008

We spent a Sunday-Wednesday is July at my friends' families' cabin on Pipe Lake in WI. Holly and her husband Mark get the pleasure of spending many weekends on Mark's families' cabin and we were invited to join them this year. We all had a blast. We stayed 3 nights, which proved to be one night too many for Gage...he slept well all of the nights except the last night in which he refused to sleep at all. I think he fell asleep sometime around midnight...

Tim, Gage, and Jazz in the water. This is where we were the majority of the time. Gage loved the water, and it was such a clean lake. Very few weeds, and no algae at all. I would love to live on a lake like this...

Holly's youngest, Aiden, who is about 18 months, and Gage at 2 years.

Holly's oldest, Ben, whose 3 and Gage hanging out by the fire.

College roommate and friend, Jill Bonicatto, came and visited us as she and her family only live about 1 hour away from the cabin. These are her girls, Camilla (3) and Sophia (1).

Swinging the kids in a towel. Sometimes you'll do anything to keep them entertained until dinner is ready.

We were unable to get all 5 kids together at the same time....here are 4 of them that would sit for a moment. Look at the two pictures below and figure out which of these kiddos is the "ham".
Camilla and Sophia (Jill B's daughters), Gage, and Aiden (Holly and Mark's 2nd). Missing from the photo is Holly's Ben.

Showing "muscles".
Um, "flirting"? I don't know, but Camilla does not look too amused!

Gage was fascinated by Ben's John Deere. He spent the majority of our time up there on it...should probably replace a battery for them! These two boys really played well together. There was little fighting or arguing at all. Ben shared his tractor very nicely with Gage

S'mores! Yum!
