On this freezing cold {seriously, -35 with windchill} day, all I can think about is the warm, sunshiny days at the lake to get me though. Here are some of the photos from a weekend at the lake with our nieces and nephews this summer. These weekends are my absolute favorite times with our nieces and nephews. We get time to really sit down and talk about everything, and nothing. Such special memories! :)
They swing on the tire swing and play in the hammock.
They splash in the water table on the deck. {pre-siding, or maybe mid-siding is more appropriate}
Then they cool off on the 'beach'
And bring beach bags down on old bikes when their aunt forgets them inside! :)
And play with other cousins
And drink cold soda from a straw
And pose for photos when their Aunt makes them!
Just one is never enough! :)
They cool off in the lake
And everything is a competition! :)
But they always look out for each other! :)
They come back to the house for homemade chicken fingers
and pizza roll ups from Uncle Adam on the deck. {those photos do NO justice!}
Then baths and showers for all
Before we start a campfire
Complete
with
S'mores
Followed by bedtime for the littles
and movies
snacks
and popcorn for the big kids
Then we fill them up with sugary donuts before sending them home
Just like good Aunts and Uncles do! :)
The last time I wrote about being an aunt is here
