yep, we are back at the lake

more from the lake

daddy pulling the girls... oops one must have fallen 

 

 I love McKinley's hair in this one!

beautiful girl       and those handsome boys getting ready 

 some serious air

  

 

funny how air gets under it when they all fall off! 

surfing ~ or trying too

 

 

there are so many pictures that I just can't choose.  the board my nephew uses belonged to his daddy when he was younger.  luckily these cousins like to share and have patience with each other. 

buried in the sand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why do kids like doing this?  sand gets in every nook and cranny... but they had fun and spent time with cousins and that I love!

sound side (and an almost perfect picture)

dane's cottage is located between the ocean and the sound.  this morning we opted for the sound side. 

 

ruffles accenting the bottom are only cute at a certain age! 

your head is a perfect base for a drip castle... not! 

cartwheels aren't easy in the water.

mud fight! 

sand shower 

my nephew 

finally... a clear shot of the face with a blurry background.  this only took me a year to perfect and countless emails from emily (and re-reading my manual weekly) on how to achieve this. 

two weeks of fun: part IV

m1, little man, dude, micadoodle and m2

little man is the king of the float!  

 J.U.M.P. 

another fun day on the lake..

two weeks of fun: part II

finally ~ some steady sunshine!  sunscreen was slathered on and the jet ski was gassed up.  aunt sissy, charlie and m2 took a slow stroll first.  the boys double kneeboarded and then the girls followed.  they crashed when micadoodle missed the rope on a 360, but no major damage was done.  the boys rode again and then the girls rode again.  hence my issue posting summer pictures... 298 pictures of the same thing, but i am not complaining!  the kids have a blast and sister and i love it too!
