5 million pics of our trip to the Lakehouse

We rented a lakehouse on Cedar Creek Lake this weekend with my parents, Chris' sister and our niece Madison. It was so much fun! We were right on the water and even had a pool out back. We had a lot of fun spending time together, swimming and relaxing. I have millions of pictures, which should not be a surprise to anyone, so I just went through and picked a ton. They are all out of order, I didn't want to take the time to load them in order.

Elliott had SO much fun with Madison. M is 7 1/2 (" technically 8" if you ask her). Before we left Elliott said she was "so excited she was going to rip her pants off" I have NO idea where she heard that but I am still cracking up about it. M had fun having someone to boss around, and there were no problems because E was such a loyal follower.

They had crazy hats all over the house and the guy told us to take pictures of everyone in them because they wanted to start a wall of shame in the converted garage/bar. Brandy and Madison. If you want to see what E will look like when she grows up, its Brandy. Lucky girl!

Grammy and Papa The one picture of me from the weekend, to prove I was in fact there.

They are just too cute together! B slept through all the hat picture taking and was uninterested when I tried to get some of her.

M jumping in the pool. It was great, only about 3 feet deep on the shallow side so both girls could touch.

Chris with his hippo tube. He knew when it happened it was going on the blog.

Chris, Brandy and the girls swimming Berk and Daddy

E was towing M around in the deep end. She's come a long way since the beginning of the summer!

Berk and Daddy "relaxing" in the hammock.

B had the goggles on, she looked so cute and was walking around, but by the time I got a picture she was ripping them off

She was really whiny this part of the day unless she was relaxing in the crab/lobster chair drinking. Is she my baby or what?

Chris and I took the girls out in the canoe. I had to chase E down and force her in, then she cried for the first 5 min and held onto Madison for dear life. She ended up having a good time though. She loved going under the bridge.

When B saw us go in the canoe she led Brandy back to her boat and wanted to get in

This is the girls on the way down. It was Berkley's first time to get to watch the dvd player in the car.

Of course keeping the headphones on didn't last long.
