Update: After posting this, Carrie emailed me a bunch of her pictures. Hurray for super-aunts who take pictures of things!

Our last big summer activity was the cabin trip with the Brock Family.

It was a huge success. There was so much food (good grief, so much!) and so much fun (oh, dearie).

Carrie and Ejo and the catch of the day - picture by me with Carrie's camera. (ya, ya, I know there's some motion blur. )

 

Unfortunately I was having too much fun to really take any pictures – so there are hardly any except for when we went to fishing (Wyatt fish’s, I take pictures).

I didn’t get pictures of –

-4 Wheeling
-The kids playing in the fort out in the woods (which they disappeared to for most of the time at the cabin).
-The craft projects we did for Leslee’s baby
-Watching movies
-Playing card games
-Eating (did I mention there was every imaginable yummy there?)
-hanging out in the hot tub under the stars (though I did get some star pics).

Next year we decided we’re going to take the horses up too. And I’m going to go down the zip line for sure. (For some reason I never got around to it this year, even though I kept saying I would).

Thanks Leslee & Jason for playing hosts.

PS – For the record, Wyatt caught like 20 fish, and each kid caught quite a few too, which always makes Wyatt happy.
