Brainerd Cabin

I will let the pictures do the talking, but to sum it up, we had an AMAZING week at the Brainerd cabin. Lots of laughs, lots of memories, lots of auntie and uncle bonding time. The kids aren't sure what to do with themselves with just mommy and daddy tonight. Thank you Patti and Paul for getting us all together and for such a fun-filled week. It makes me sad that it is already over and that we have to wait a WHOLE year to do it again with everyone. 

WARNING....Lots of Photos.....

So fun to have bonding time with their Aunts and Uncles.

So fun to watch the world through his eyes as he explores.

Loving up the sand.

Nothing beats eating lunch outside.

Lunching in his stroller by the water.

Not to worry, the beers were empty from the recycling bin. She had to try on Uncle Mick's bday present.

Again, beers are empty!

Campfire fun.

Checking out Paul Bunyan.

This guy decided vacation was the perfect time to grow up and start walking.  He looks so old in this picture.

Thanks for the hand Auntie Erin.

 

#whereisish...oh there he is. :)

"ooooooohhhh"

At the start of the duck derby.

Izzy's is the pink duck, Bobby's is the white one. Bobby's has mustaches on it. 

Watching her duck go down the stream.

"OOooooohhhhhh"

The gatekeepers, Erin and Andy were awesome at catching the ducks and determining the winner.

Cheese!

Paddle boat ride.

Carrie bought hair chalk, Izzy loved coloring Carrie's hair. Check out Izzy's rad hair. 

 

Mick had to give the hair chalk a try.

 

I love watching them play together. 

 

The beer bottle was empty, but it became Bobby's favorite toy.

 

Pretty proud of his find in daddy's cupholder.

 

So proud.

 

Nothing is better than going swimming in your undies with your Auntie.

Ahhhh sunset.

Tuckered out after a fun-filled day in the water.

 

This guy took a little longer to fall asleep each night after all of the fun and walking practice.

 

Bobby loved the big kitchen with no child locks on the cabinets...trouble maker.

 

Feeding Daddy

 

Vacationing is hard work, especially when you get to eat large Reeses PB cups.

 

Oh Izzy, hopefully next summer your summer will be perfected.

 

This approach seemed to work better.

That is love, holding your brother's nebulizer for him while you both color on a coloring app on the iPad.

Bobby got to be flipped around for the car ride home to make life easier. He was in heaven.
