more vacation pics!

the next stop was visiting amy and the kids sat. we decided to celebrate summer by going to cowan's gap. it was really nice and i think the pictures will prove how much fun we had!

we're off!!!

emma spending some time in the sand

this girl was a fish in the water, and had absolutely no fear!

smiley nate, cute pic even with the bink, lol ;)

amy and i

here are a couple pics of amy with the kids.
i tried to take a couple updated pictures so which is your favorite?

next we decided to go on the paddle boats. unfortunately, only 4 to a boat so we took 2 boats... you guessed it, i was peddling solo with abby... little to my dismay, she was full of power and had amazing strength and ablility and proved me waaay wrong!

no fair, both emma and amy can reach the pedals

isn't the lake beautiful!

and of course i asked the person in charge to take our picture together...
notice who already has his vest off!

mind you it was like 100 degrees, literally! and not only did nathan get a free ride to the car, so did abby on my shoulders while i was pushing the stroller!!!

we finished off the day with milkshakes, they were delicious :)

what a great way to spend my saturday...
with some of my favorite people, the beach, and ice cream!!!
