Cottage - July 2016

We spent a week at the cottage in Upper Michigan for the 4th. Brecken & Ryan loved hanging out in the kayaks and boats.

 

 Daddy had a lot of fun swimming with his GoPro camera.

 Boat ride powered by Daddy.

 Uncle Jeremy was the seaweed monster.

 Lots of kayak rides.

 

 We spent a lot of time on the boat.

 

The kid's caught some fish.

 

 

 And Mackston spent a lot of time driving the boat.  He was making all kinds of driving noises.

 

 

 Chesney, Allie and Ryan were all about being pulled in the tube this year.

 

 

 On the 4th we participated in the boat parade. It's a good thing there isn't a contest for the best boat because this guy would have won us first prize.

 

 The kids threw candy to the people swimming at the beach.

 

 

 

 

 The 2016 4th of July kids crew!

Steak dinner for the 4th.

We took a walk to the park and beach for a picnic and swimming.

 Mackston enjoyed the ride.

 The kid's ate a quick lunch, and then it was off to the beach.

 

 Mackston was ready for some water fun too.

 

 Mackston's face says it all.  He was thrilled to be in the water.

 

 Full belly giggles from this guy.

 7 kiddos had a lot of fun that day.

 Snacks on the pontoon boat.

 

 Followed by dancing on the cooler.

 

 

The kids loved doing sparklers and watching Grandpa light off fireworks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  And we had to stop for ice cream.

 

 

 The kids were excited to cook over the fire.

 

 

 

 

 Love Mackston's little curls.

 

 The guys went on a kayak trip down the river, and the kids were excited to cheer them on as they came back.

And we got some family pictures.

 

 

 Goofy pictures are always fun.

 

 

 The cottage trip was lots of  fun.  As the kids get older, they are having even more fun with each other. And it's even more fun to watch them playing together.
