a few vacation pics

A slice of heaven on earth.... that's what Jason and I think of Fair Hills. And, now, we can't get the kids to be quiet about it, too!! Here are just a few quick ones of our time in Minnesota over the 4th.

This is the deck of our cabin on the night of the staff show - Hootenanny! There are about seven families that meet nightly for Happy Hour right before the dinner bell rings for the dining hall. :) yes, it's that kind of place!
Here's the infamous water slide pics - Jason held the record AGAIN for traveling the furthest off of the slide after hitting the grass. He's got his form down perfect.
Taking Kyle down....
Jason's new BFF - little chipmunk that would come to eat food from us during happy hour.
Lots of fun stuff to do in the lake - this year, both boys jumped off the floating dock AND the 15 foot tower! Here is Kyle...

Wheeeee goes Grant!

On the 4th of July, we all wore matching Life is Good t-shirts. Last year, our little foursome wore Eskimo Joes. During this week, it's a time for a lot of families from across the country to have a reunion/vacation together - several families make shirts for their families.

Jason and I like this picture of Grant - just taking it easy! This was right when we got there, and our cabin wasn't ready yet (made really good time!). We played tennis and in the lake before even unpacking.

Same time as the above picture... Kyle would have NOTHING to do with the seaweed (and there isn't really that much) touching his feet. He finally gave in, and went out a little further where there was no seaweed, and thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Our friend, Corey, playing his ukelele during Happy Hour on our deck (their cabin was next door).

Just getting there and already chilling.....

There is an old fashioned soda fountain here. This was after the Hootenanny. It's Molly, our Matron of Honor from our wedding, and two of her three gals. Her sister, Carrie, who was also in our wedding, brought her three boys, too!

just throwing this one in to show how clean and tidy Grant tries to stay during t-ball games! :)
