Today was the first day of my summer break and oh man did it feel like it-- sunny and 90*! Peter went to school for 2 hours and Emi and I ran some errands, did laundry and packed lunches for our fun afternoon at the lake! We called up Shana and Julia and they met us for a quick dip in the lake and some PB&J action.
Sometimes when we are out and about and one of our wonderful kids is having a rough time, Shana will look at me and say, "we are amazing wonder women..." for dealing with the 4 kids all day. But we did it! 4 kids 2 and under and 2 moms did an afternoon at the beach and a picnic with
no few tears and lots and lots of smiles. Summer is really the best time!
Peter didn't want to swim last weekend at my parent's house but was warming up to the idea. He and Julia spent the day scooping water on eachother, the moms and the babies, throwing the boats for eachother and splashing in the water.
Petey also spent a decent amount of time playing with the cup lid that you see on his left in the sand...
Tuesday: How 2 year olds mountain bike. 
Wednesday: How 2 year olds set the table. 
Thursday: Found these guys guarding the bathroom went i went to brush my teeth. 
Friday: Quick train ride at Steamboat days. 
Saturday: Balloons for Kristen's Shower. 
Sunday: Steaming down the hill at full speed.
We also went for a hike up Mt. Carlton (where Garrick proposed to me!) and went sea kayaking on Sunday. Pete got to throw piles of rocks into the lake and Emi got passed around from person to person to see who could make her laugh the most! We will be back next year and can't wait for a few more camping trips this summer from going to Yogi Bears to the Brule River to Whitewater State Park for a quick overnight away from home. (Have I mentioned yet that I love love love summer?) Enjoy the pictures!
