4th of July Fun!

WOW! What a great weekend! It was so fun and jam packed I had to make 3 post today so, keep on looking. We spent the weekend at Papa Doug's cabin with our camper. We had a great weather, the sun was shining and only a little bit of rain one evening.  The kids did lots of fishing, swimming and paying in the sand with their cousins.  Here are some of my favorite pics that I took over the weekend.

Having fun with the cousins!

Cousins, cousins and more cousins!
My cousin Leah came home for a few weeks this summer. She brought her family with her. They stayed at her parents house on the Mississippi River and since we have not seen them in 2 years she invited some cousins to a little family gathering. (she invited us 2 years ago and had a blast) She not only invited her dad's side of cousins but her mothers side of cousins too!  Braden and Ava had a blast playing with their cousins and new cousins. Braden was in his glory play ball, riding bikes, swimming, and just running with all of the boys.  Ava love playing with the girls too. But she took a little longer than normal to adjust to so many people. A scavenger hunt was even created for the little ones. It was a good day and fun was had by all.  Hopefully next time we gather more of the cousins who could not be there will be there again!

Happy Birthday Braden!

Happy 7th Birthday Braden!
All Braden want for his birthday was to spend the day at the cabin and for his cousin Eric to be there too. Well we were unable to get Eric there but we did manage to take his birthday off and head to the cabin the night before.  He had a blast had all day. From fishing, to swimming and playing with his sister and cleaning out the paddle boat. He opened up Ava's gift right way in the day. After lunch he could not wait anymore he open his gift from J and I. He had pizza for supper and cake later when the Grosz's show up at dusk and was able to use the sparklers. I would say that was a great 7th Birthday!
