| Saturday morning we headed out, bright and early, ...okay, more like 9:30...for breakfast at Ben and Mindy's new house. It's lovely! The house is nice, the food was good, and the company was very fun. :) |
 |
| The view from Ben and Mindy's back yard, toward their lake. |
 |
| Finn was GONE. |
 |
| Both of the kids loved this little foot bridge. Mama didn't try it out... |
 |
| Did I tell you how much Layla loves hoods on clothes? If she has one, it's usually on her head. Gangster girl. ;) |
 |
| A normal look for Finn. :) |
 |
| People enjoying breakfast / keeping kids from destroying stuff. Normal days. :) |
 |
| Layla being very "helpful" for Finn. |
 |
| Ben and his Mini-Me. I mean, come ON!!! Jonas is tall, but he looks like a dwarf next to Ben!! :) |
 |
| Lily loves Gabe. :) She calls him "Bees!" It's pretty darn cute! |
 |
| Finn has high hopes. |
 |
| Time to start music lessons? |
 |
| Cutie. |
 |
| Yep, there it is again. "I'm about to fall asleep on my feet..." says the look... |
 |
| Finn gave it a shot too. |
 |
| Down by the sunken dock... |
We left around 12:30 to go home, and Finn fell asleep IMMEDIATELY in the car. Stinker! All that running around outside had worn him out, I guess. See...I NEED.A.BACKYARD. :)
After naps we got in the boat and headed to Ruttgers across the lake for an early dinner.
 |
| BOY does this pontoon have some POWER to it! :) |
 |
| Can you see how much Finn loves it? :) |
 |
| Logan was a hoot the ENTIRE time I was taking pictures. :) |
 |
| After the initial shock, Layla enjoyed the fast ride too! |
 |
| There were some big clouds coming in when we got there, so we sat under the awning and it did rain! But it was lovely! I might have enjoyed it a bit more if both of our kids weren't constantly trying to get wet, but it was still a beautiful dinner outside on a lovely night. :) |
 |
| Finn was calling Grandma. :) |
 |
| Hello, small town??? Guess who showed up as we got our food??? So they joined us! Finn and Jill. :) |
 |
| Bob checking out the rain. |
 |
| Layla loved catching the rain that fell off the awning ...but then her dress got wet...so... |
 |
| ...she ditched the dress, took a phone call, and adjusted her technique. ;) |
 |
| Lily took a few phone calls too. |
 |
| Jonas, trying to keep Finn from running away. |
 |
| Layla was singing a song as she looked over the dessert menu. |
 |
| Finally we just gave in and stripped them down to diapers. |
 |
| They were thankful. |
 |
| Lots of fun was had on the beached water tramp! :) |
 |
| Climbing down the looooong row of chairs... |
 |
| It was a great day. |
