Well - our (read: my) summer holidays have officially begun! And we decided to kick things off with a trip to the Lake to celebrate Jim's mum's birthday! It was just a "quick" trip there, being that we were only able to stay Saturday to Monday early morning, but it was nice to have some serious quiet time after a somewhat hectic 10 months!
Here's a little rooster we got Mum - he sits at the door to the now-completed "Kitchen"!
While we were there the girls were having the time of their lives - we feel so blessed to have this place to go to and the family to spend time with!
Swinging with Oma...
Here's a picture of the Kitchen, fully finished! And they have added some little decks to both buildings - I think it's a nice touch!
Our little cabin...adorned with a deck! Oh yeah...and while we were there, they hooked up a real toilet...that flushes!! I'm slightly excited about that ounce of civility!
Oh yeah - and while we were there Jim and Ron hooked up a
real toilet...like one that
flushes!!! I'm slightly excited about that ounce of civility!!
Here's Jim trying to avoid me capturing a moment of relaxation...
Reluctantly allowing the
documentation, but the moment was totally lost!
So, I thought I'd document ME... relaxing! Don't you just
love my attire?! Yes that
IS a Mac Jacket! You know you
waaaaant one!
Should you choose to come a pay us a visit, there are plenty of jackets to go around!
And of course, what's a trip to the lake if we didn't take the quad out for a spin??
So, there you have it - the rooster, the rides - oh RIGHT...the endless roads! Well that simply refers to the fact that 10 hours in the vehicle there AND back was a
tad too long for our girls to manage! Heck - it was almost too much for ME to manage! Don't know that we'll be doing that short of a visit again any time soon! But now, looking back, it was worth it!
`
Now, onto more adventures this summer has in store!
`
Blessings to you...
taking it all in...
it's serious business figuring out which float will throw candy next!
enjoying some candy...and no, that isn't infant-onset acne or chicken pox...the mosquitos love Avery!
That evening we enjoyed a walk along the beach to a little park.
Fun on the slide...
Oh yeah - and while we were there Jim and Ron hooked up a real toilet...like one that flushes!!! I'm slightly excited about that ounce of civility!!
