Stag Island

We made our annual pilgrimage to Grandma Sandy's cottage and had soooo much fun!

Digging for worms to start our day fishing...

 Lily's first fish (look closely)

 Enjoying our daily romp on the tramp

 Sunggling up for a movie.

 Our kayaking adventure around the island in search of the new wing fossil grounds.  It was a long and arduous trip.  No cove was left unturned.  Here we stopped for a picnic lunch.  As we ventured to the other side of the island, my crew mate decided he was done with kayaking, so I walked back 1.5 miles carrying him perched on my growing belly '_'  Grandpa Dave walked back later to retrieve my kayak!

 Team Daddy and Lily

 Team Mommy and Caden

 Lily floating down with her life jacket and noodle - her first swim down!

 Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Dave with two cute islanders.

 Caden showing off his ability to use the potty!!!

 Taking the car ferry home.

 And then the long sleep for the car ride home...

 One of my favorite pics.  Lily and Caden wanting to "run like mommy".  Notice they have one of each of my and Corey's shoes on : )

 Our ferry boat ride back to our car.  Thank goodness there is a boat involved, or we would never get the kids off of the island!

Visiting the Cousins

We had a great weekend playing with cousins on our way to Grandma Sandy's cottage...

Singing in the Rain...

We donned rain boots and Disney umbrellas to play in the summer rain...

 Too cute!

 Caden was not quite ready for the adventure...

July 4th

We had a great 4th of July weekend.  Uncle Randy joined us for a day at Silver Beach in St. Joe Michigan. We packed a fantastic picnic of italian goodies from the Farmer's Market.

 The kids (including Corey) had a great time building sand castles : )

 I know I may regret this photo some day, but as I type this (5 months later and unable to wear much but Corey's t-shirts) the tiny pregnancy belly looks cute.

 We stopped for ice cream on the way home (perhaps a contributing factor to the above noted current issue).  Can you guess what flavor Caden enjoyed?!?

 We joined Morris Park this year and loved the spectacular fireworks display, perched atop one of the greens.

Miscellaneous July

Miscelanneous July photos...

 Caden and Me, enjoying a blankey : )

 Thank goodness for this swingset!  We use it nearly every day.

 The two cutest ND fans ever!

 Lily and Caden make a fort out of the cushions.  Here Lily is "reading" to Caden : )

 Lunch date with our friends Bella and Ally Dugard.  They are already too cool to sit with their moms '_'

 Lily and Uncle Randy snuggling.

 Lily took a week-long art class at Stanley Clark where she made masks from all over the world.  Incredible work!

 Baloon art is pretty popular in these parts.  Here Lily, Grace and Caden show off their most recent baloon loot at an on campus employee fair.
