Another Great North Lake Weekend!

We had 10 adults (plus my parents) and 8 kids (6 of them under 4) out to my parents this past weekend! It was chaotic and fabulous, I wouldn't have it any other way! These kids are all growing up together and I can see where it's headed - best friends, chasing girls, getting into trouble (I'm a little scared my child might be the leader of this) - everything best friends do! But with all those boys Rosie is one of the few girls, she'll always have her brother and his best buds to keep an eye on her. Then we have the Gwizdala kids who are a little older and both love hanging with the babies and they are so great with them! We have the best of both worlds.

We spent the weekend swimming.....

Apparently with a lot of bare butts!

The twins even loved it!

Collecting rocks, cause that's what boys do, right?

The adults enjoying some relaxation while the little people were napping!

Playing games.....

Jumping off the couch. Grace was in charge of telling everyone who was next, she was working hard!

Pickle Ball!

Bag-o! The big boys did play but never got a picture.

Eating delicious food.....

Why do adults always end up at the kids table?

Val & Ben did an amazing job with the seafood boil!

Last step, shrimp & scallops are going in!

Everyone pigged out!!! Thanks Heath's, it was wonderful!

We hope to keep this tradition going, we had so much fun with everyone and I know the kids had a blast!

One last thing, A did some new daring things I thought would be blog-worthy. First, he started jumping off the dock, we have to keep an eye on this fish.

And, second, he started jumping off the swim platform in front of my brothers cottage that's about 5 feet off the water, he is crazy! No picture though, I'll get it next time.
