So... we had so much fun the first week, we decided we needed to go back for another week! But so as not to hog all of my parent's time at the cabin, we had to choose a week where no one was going to be there! It worked out well though, because we wanted to go to the Annual BBQ and Talent show that we hadn't got to go to last year! It's a great time to see all my cousins and friends from growing up, and usually some good laughs! Our contribution to the talent show was a number from Mason and Dakota, singing the "I'm bringing home my baby Bumblebee song", but I changed the words from baby bumblebee to "Daddy-long-legs", and they each had a real Daddy-long-legs spider that they had found in their hands. At the end of it, they actually really ate the spider! Something they both have done quite frequently at our house (why they do it, I have no idea, but I think they both like the shock value!!) It was a great, and everyone was pretty surprised! So proud of my brave bug eating children!!
The kids were also happy to have a day to play with their cousins - Skyler, Ethan and Ryley. It didn't last long because they had to go home, but they had a good time! Ash and Jeff also overlapped with us for a day, but unfortunately the slept in and didn't make any of the pictures (:
The rest of the week, we had a few days to ourselves, and a few days with our friends, the Irvines, visiting us! It was a blast! We had so much fun showing them all of the fun things to do around there, and it was fun to watch them do things behind the boat they had never done before. And it was nice for the kids to have playmates too. They actually got along really well with the Irvine kids! And wouldn't Griffin and Mila make such a cute couple?! Parents can hope, can't they??
The kids REALLY improved their skiing the second week at the lake, it was fun to see them improve! One day Griffin even got up the courage to try skiing, which totally shocked me because at the beginning of the Summer, he was too scared to even go in the deep water with his life jacket on! But surprisingly, he skiied quite a ways - although he was sitting on his skis the whole time and couldn't seem to stand up! It was pretty funny actually, I have it on video! He tried a few more times, but then lost his nerve and went back to the EZ ski! We were still proud of him though for even trying!!
The kids also loved to wake surf with Lee! Cute!
Anyway, such a fun Summer, the weather was amazing, boating was a blast, and having time together and with family and friends was wonderful! It was sad, (and a lot of work!!) to pack up and clean up the place to be perfect for my parents!
Can't wait till next Summer!
