Our Day Trip to Payne Lake

During the middle of our camping week at Gun Lake, my friend Michelle invited us over to the Hopkin's cottage for the day.  We arrived about 11am and I think with the except of lunch, Grandpa Fig pulled the kiddos around the lake all day.  The kids went tubing, rode of a blue board, and skiing.  Some of the kids (Austin J., Brendan, Sydney, and Connor) tried skiing for the first time.  Here's some of my favorite pictures of the day.

Poolside Fun!!!

In the middle of packing for camping last week, we spent a day along side the Bird's Pool.  The boys had fun tons of fun playing and swimming with their friends, and I had lots of fun having some adult convo.

This ones for you, Dad!!!!

This picture is for my Dad.  He called me and asked for a picture of Mike with the corn on the 4th of July.  Well, Mike really didn't want anything to do with it, but I had four other boys that were willing to have their picture taken instead.

the art of eating watermelon

There is definitely an art to eating watermelon off the rind.  Usually I cut the watermelon into pieces and throw it in a bowl, but last night I don't, maybe I was feeling lazy or maybe it was because the boys think it fun to eat it this way...it's definitely messier.

Open mouth wide enough to get the hug chunk of watermelon

check out where the next juicy bite is located,

when give mommy a juicy & cheesy smile,

and then take another bite,

and another,

and a few more,

until there's no more.

The colors of a summer dinner

Red is for ketchup (yes, we actually use that much ketchup)

Orange is for cheese on our burgers...my boys won't eat burgers without cheese.

Yellow is for potato chips

Green is for Lime Kool-Aid

Blue is for our divided plates.
