Cousins and fish, you can't beat that

We just got home from a little vacation at the lake where one of my favorite cousins and her husband joined us.

We had more fun not doing anything!

The guys on the other hand, paid good money to their new friend the fishing guide for their fun...

Those fish tasted really good though!

Jennifer brought the favorite dog to see Mike

My sister and her husband came up for a day.  My favorite part of the visit was a ride to the store where they told me I was still the youngest and had to go in the store while they waited in the car. 
A little later the three of us piled up in a bed to watch t.v. and they made me get in the middle cause I was the "baby"... It had been a long long time since I had them treat me this way but you know what was different?  I really liked it this time... not just because I could remind them that yes, I was much much younger than either of them but because something was comforting about that.  I was still the baby but this time they weren't mad about me playing with them...

The girls enjoyed having their own room and feeling independent...

there was a lot of pool time... a lot. 

We're already planning next years trip!

But as usual, I'm glad to be home.
