We had a surprise trip to the Lake! We realized that the trip we were planning on going on with my whole family was going to be impossible between J's work and E's school, and since people backed out at the last minute... we were able to go up! It was so great! We only had two days but we made the most of those!
We got Bubs to learn to swim on his own within the first hour we were there! Hoooray!

It is called- I swam him to the back if the boat and then let him go... (ok it was a bit more involved than that, but not much!) He loved it and was sooo ready. He watched South Pacific with me a few weeks ago and since then he practiced swimming like the guy in "Happy Talk Song", as he calls it, and said it would be, "no problem when we get to the Lake cause I already know how to swim"!

J with H , Grandma with Bubs, and Derek with Luke!

'lil E

Does this suit look familiar? It is the same one
H wore in Mexico last May... Does that give you a glimpse into the Chaos around here???? Seriously...

Grandpa caught a big fish!!!




This is what 'lil E did most of the time...

This is what happens when you try to apply sunscreen alone!

This is what happens when you play hard!
Pretty messy little girl!

And boy...

I would kill for these lips!

This is what happens when you ask H to smile...

If we could just get that Binky out of her mouth!

Cute family! (plus our Bubs)

Big E fanning 'lil E (it was super hot!)

Luke chillin on the couch

And another 'lil E cause she is just so darn cute!

And this is about 3 minutes after we got in the car...

Nice....

What a great trip!
