Mike ended up having a guy offer to take his Friday and Sunday call one weekend...so we took advantage of having one last weekend off in the summer and headed to the lake! Peter and Amy had invited a few families down so we kind of crashed the party..but luckily we knew the families and it ended up being a great weekend! The weather was perfect and the kids got along famously! We only saw them when they were hungry!
There was a jumping competition...this is Peyton in action
Stephanie
Hmm one of the twins..hard for me to tell in this picture
Stephanie
(the rest of the kids I only got their splash...lol)
they had a great time jumping and splashing!!
Then they took to the skiis! This is Peyton
Emily...she did really well this weekend. She was always willing to go and can now get up by herself! She was so thrilled!
Paige and Peyton watching the action.
Bailey...LOL...this was hilarious...we called it 'girls gone wild' but hey..she is 3!
Hallie was so cute...she can ski forever and was an inspiration for all the girls!! So cute!
Stephanie...she also did great this weekend! She can also get up on her own and is willing to help cousins get up too!
Paige gave it 2 tries..and both times got up!!
And shockingly yes..that is me in the water with a ski on! LOL!
(my family will think this was photoshopped..it has been many years since I have skiied!)
And yes..I eventually got up!
By the end of the weekend we actually had a lineup to go skiing! We are so proud of these girls!
Stephanie and Hallie waiting in line...
Emily coming home..didnt even get her hair wet!
Stephanie headed off..into a tree..lol!
This was such a fun fun weekend with great people, great weather and great fun!
It was perfect to end the summer on!
**Note...I am missing a few more picture for this post..I had grabbed Amy's camera to capture some surfing action! When I get the pictures I will update this post...
This summer Mike wanted to bike over the 'Going to the Sun Road' in Glacier National Park. He rode from St. Mary's to West Glacier on our anniversary but I was not along to take pictures. He wanted to ride it again..and this time...we cheered him on!! It was so much fun and the kids were hilarious!!
It was right dark by the time he hit the top of the pass (dont be fooled by the pictures...I had to tweak with the lighting just so we could see him) so Mike didnt ride down...too dangerous! It was fun watching him go up and the kids and I had a blast stopping along the way to cheer and take pictures! James was so cute...we would ride along side of Mike and James would cheer for daddy! So darn cute!
