Hume Lake with my family

In Mid-August, we went to Hume Lake where we joined up with my parents and my brother's family.  We shared a cabin with my parents and my brother's family shared a cabin with Jaime's parents.  We were there for a whole week!  It was such a perfect vacation because the cabin had plenty of rooms so that Caleb & Julia could share a room, Ethan & I had our our room, and my parents had their own room.  The kids actually slept really well (which is not usually the case on vacation!) so that was a huge blessing. There were so many fun activities for our kids to do including swimming, walking around the lake, climbing rocks, fishing, etc.  Julia loved hanging out with her cousins.  I wish my parents and cousins lived closer so they could hang out more often...
 
Georgia, Julia, Ella, Adam, and Matteus (all the cousins minus Annalee)

My crazy boy!  :)
 

It's funny how I brought toys for the kiddos but they found other things to play with such as this connect four game.  It kept them intertained for awhile (and was a good lesson on taking turns/sharing!  Hah!)
 

Love my brother's family!  (Jaime, Matteus, Georgia, Annalee, Ella, Phil, and Adam).  This was taken after church on Sunday.
 

The cousins
 

Julia's first boad ride...  She was super brave.  She was happy to get in the boat but we could tell she was nervous because the whole time she was SUPER compliant and kept saying, "I love you Mommy.  I love you Daddy."  :)
 

Her cousins were in a bigger boat and at one point we found a big rock where the kids got out and climbed up.  Her cousins were so sweet and took good care of Julia.
 

On the way back to camp, her cousins asked if Julia could ride in the boat with them.  Julia was all smiles.  :)
 

The others


On one of the mornings, there was a pancake breakfast.  The food was good and the view was amazing!

Something rare... Julia snuggling.  Sweet moment.
 

There was this really tall swing and tree house outside our cabin.  Julia loved it!
 

One night we had a BBQ at my brother's cabin.  The kids had fun playing.
 

 

Making s'mores on the BBQ

Caleb wanted a s'more.  :)


Julia was excited to try her first s'more
 

One bite...
 

and she decided she didn't like it (too sticky!).  My girl makes me laugh.  :)

Julia's cousins gave her a glowstick which they made into a necklace.  :)
