Up North

Last weekend we went up to my parents' cottage at Higgins Lake. I love spending time with the grandparents as it gives us a nice break.

Jason and Jack relaxing on the swing.


Hannah loves the swing as well.

On Saturday morning, Jason continued on to Lewiston to spend a guys-only weekend with his dad while the kids and I stayed at the cottage with my parents.


Hannah's friend Jozlyn came over to play on Saturday.


Is our niece Kara not absolutely adorable or what!?!


The girls all playing in the sandbox, which was a huge hit all weekend long.


Grandma and Jack taking it easy on the deck.


Grandpa taught Hannah how to shuck corn.




Being very careful to pull all of the hair away.


One of Jack's favorite spots - in his bouncer seat.

Hannah eating corn on the cob for the first time. She at almost 2 full ears!

After playing in the sand and being out in the sun, Hannah and Kara needed a bath. They had a blast playing in the tub with the toys. Of course, Grandpa makes it fun with all of his character voices, too.


After bath time the girls had to watch Twenty Times on the computer with Grandpa, making sure to brush "twenty times up, twenty times down."




For years, my brother, 3 cousins, and I all had to do a summer "cousin picture" (in fact, we still do if we can ever all get together). This weekend started a new generation of cousin pictures. As you can see, our two children were not making the new tradition an easy one. At least Kara was happy!


A semi-happy picture of all 3 cousins, plus Hannah's baby, with Grandpa.

Both kids (yes, our 8 week old) watching The Hot Dog Song from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with Grandpa. Just a disclaimer - no, Jack does not normally watch tv or videos on the computer!


Of course, we couldn't go up north and not go to the beach. Here is our drama queen throwing a fit about something, which she was over a minute later.


Oops - I forgot Jack's hat, so we had to use a burp cloth instead!


He didn't seem to mind :-)


Beach baby.


You can just imagine that we found sand EVERYWHERE when we gave her a bath later that night.


Hannah testing out her very own boat.


We lost power one evening, so what else was there to do but go to Dairy Queen?? Hannah got her own cone, complete with sprinkles!


Not only did she eat it, but she wore a little bit of it, too.


After all of our fun activities, Grandma and Jack were worn right out.
