This past weekend the 4th Annual "Family Weekend" took place on Caribou Lake. Dan's parents, his siblings and all our kids gather once a year and we pitch tents, roast Tonkas and soak up the sun for three whole days. The Family Olympics, fireworks and too much swimming are a few other things we enjoyed this weekend. Dan and I decided to take the challenge of sleeping in a tent with 2 under two. Although it was rough(why did we pick July 4th again?), after the first night we vowed to bear through it, take a picture and tell our boys in 30 years how awesome we were to put up with them in a tent for three days.
Connor took several trips out on the jet ski(mostly screaming "slow down daddy!"), learned to hammer nails into logs and stayed up late with Dan to watch firework over the lake. Liam is getting more teeth!!, slept pretty well in a tent for the first time and swam, swam, swam in the kiddie pool with cousins. The reality of having two young kids at a cabin all weekend was certainly felt by both Dan and I but somehow we managed to come home with great memories, good laughs and dark tans...can't wait until next year!!
Upon arriving home we were greeted by my little sister who has come to live with us for some 6 months. Both boys were hopped up until 10pm playing with her and it all started again early this morning when Connor realized she was down stairs. We are so excited to have her here with us!!
