More From Vacation

A few more shots from our family get together...

Oldest and youngest!  A mere 90 years and 16 days apart in age.

We celebrated the grandkids birthdays...here's Beckett adding ice to the ice cream maker.



Aunt Renee and Uncle Scott gave Beckett a Tom-Tom.  Macy found it at "The Wampum Shop" in Mercer.
It had a disclaimer  - "Not Authorized by any Native American Organization."




Scott made a big batch of beef stew over the fire pit.  It's become a tradition whenever he's Up North.  Baily was all in.  We played croquet while it was stewing.  As you can see the fire pit came into play.



We had a photographper come and take some family photos.  Here's the crew trying to get the great-grandkids focused.

The kayaks were a hit all week.

More Beach Fun



Delaney loved being in the water, and she loved walking up the staires with her Dad's help...over and over and over,





Lucas wasn't a big fan of his life vest but he toughed it out






Beckett and Heather caught a good sized perch.

 


Snack Time





Caya is very protective of Lucas





Best seat in the house!



Sea Dogs

Renee and Scott urging Caya to make the leap



And she does, Caya was the most reliable retriever

While Caya and Cooper were playing in the water Baily maintained the high ground in the back of the Gator...and barked




Through much work by Scott, Baily finally goes in deep enough to get his tail wet



And actually swims!

Bucket Brigade

Despite the fact there is a 1,000 acre lake ten feet away what could be more fun for 2 one year olds than a 5 gallon bucket of water?

Deeres

Grandpa couldn't be happier, two more John Deere converts.

Poles Rock! 2

Harvest Time!

Kayak Fun

My mom was out in the kayak the other day.  Got in and out pretty much on her own; I had to steady the kayak.  Asked that she stay close by, but of course she immediately took off across the bay. 

In the lagoon



Back from points unknown




Baily showed her the way in




A few barks to get her closer to shore




Life is good!
