The Lake Part 2

Here are some more pictures of the Lake this year!  This year at the lake my oldest brother Pat, Cristy, and their daughter Eli came.  It was so nice to be able to see them and let Brynn and Cailin get to know their cousin who does not live by us.  
Matt's catch one day!

Big Sunfish

Brynn with Paul 

A senior picture type pose in Paul's hand.  Brynn seems to do the senior picture posing quite naturally.  We think it's hilarious when it comes out in photos.

Cailin

B and C with Tiernan's Wagon which was a big hit with every child at the lake.  Cailin's face is her cheese face that she brings out for the camera.  She does it all on her own whenever she sees a camera is pointed at her.

Another day... some more sunnies

The whole family

My cousin's Babies... all of them

The Lake 2011

The lake this year was so much fun with two girls to keep us busy!  Both girls love the water and we tried to be down there as much as possible!  Brynn learned how to doggie paddle with her new life jacket, and Cailin soaked up the sun in her float.  Both girls also enjoyed playing in the sand.  Brynn played  with water and sand while Cailin just made a mess of herself with the sand.  Thank goodness our resort has a nice beach to keep us occupied...

She may be trying to eat the sand here..



Brynn and Annika in the sand.. They spent a long time bringing water up onto the beach in buckets and pouring it out, as far as I could tell.  I'm sure in their minds it was much more complicated.


Here you can see Brynn's fancy lifejacket that let her swim more in the water and  allowed her to learn how to doggie paddle. I don't think she's quite ready to go without a lifejacket, but hey.. she's at least figuring it out.

Every year there is a craft day for the kids, here is Brynn working diligently on her project.

My other family

Brynn has a little obsession with mannequins.  And I guess one day Matt decided to embellish her obsession with a photo shoot... Enjoy!!
