The Cavin 2014

Ok... I'm just gonna stop apologizing for lack of posts or my delay.  

It's not improving... weeks go by and I keep getting farther behind, it's just how it is.

It's fine.

Anyway.

The first weekend of August, we were invited to Pelican Rapids to stay at a cabin
with Ryan's family.  8 adults, 2 teenagers, and 5 wee ones spent 3 days together
eating, swimming, fishing, eating again, relaxing, eating.... just enjoying ourselves.
The weather actually cooperated, and the whole weekend was really enjoyable for everyone!  

Lila and Ellie had a great time playing with their cousins, and I think all the adults
appreciated that they are a little older, a little more independent, allowing us grown ups
to actually just kick back and enjoy the view!

A HUGE thanks to Kim and Matt for hosting us crazies!  It was great fun!

Here's what our weekend looked like!

~Just some pretty flowers on the bank~

~We spent lots of time on the water playing and swimming, and of course "big Bubba-ing"! ~

Loving up Grandma!

Getting brave and jumping in

The tiniest one is still a little apprehensive, so she preferred to watch from the sidelines

This is what you call RELAXED

HELLO BIG BUBBA!

~Lots of time spent around the table~

~And more time still back on the water, enjoying the weather and catching the fishies~

Ellie was so proud of her first catch of the weekend!

Snuggles on the water

Yeah Lila!!!!

The kids were catching them faster than we could keep them baited and ready to go!  All 5 little ones had fish at the same time!

~Such a fun time!~
