Lake 11

We spent all of Sunday morning down in the water at Lake 11.

 Charlie was trying to ring the orca that Papa was riding.

Fishing with Grandpa Dan

On Saturday, there was some tiny perch swimming by the dock. Charlie and Grandpa decided to try and catch some.

 Charlie thought it was a "keeper"

Beach Time

On Friday, Grandma Cindy picked Charlie, Hudson, and I up and we went to Ottertail. We loaded up on the pontoon and found a sandy beach to play on.

 While Charlie was busy playing, Hudson was hanging out on the pontoon.

Fourth of July

We had a wonderful Fourth of July at Ottertail Lake. We spent time lots of time with family, riding the pontoon, mini-golfing, going to a parade, playing with cousins and snuggling. 

 Charlie likes to look for fish in the lake.

 Hudson loves to be outside. 

 Hudson with Mommy and the great aunts enjoying a refreshing drink at Stella's in Battle Lake. Charlie got to stay back with the cousins at the cabin.

 Throwing ice into the lake that fell on the ground from the cooler. Much better than throwing rocks into the lake.

 Charlie had all the cousins following him around and playing with him.

 Charlie riding in the kayak. It only took 5 people and 1 hour to get him into the kayak. We never did get him to go all the way into the water.

 Charlie watching the parade. 

 He did not like the floats that sprayed water. Every time he hid behind Marie.

 Hudson's favorite napping spot was Grandpa Dan's belly.

 Throwing snaps with Daddy

 Charlie's favorite person is Tanya.

 Watching fireworks on the pontoon. Instead of looking at the camera, he is mesmerized by the fireworks in the distance.

 Hudson loved riding the pontoon. He got passed to whoever was sitting in the shade.

We all needed a nap after all of the sun.

Godparents

Corey and I are lucky to be Claire's godparents and we helped baptize her on Sunday. It was a great ceremony with a wonderful lunch at Kasey and Lisa's afterwards.

Lounging Around

After the movie on Friday, Charlie was all wired from all the sugar so we sent him home with Papa and Nana. So on Saturday, we just lounged around home with Hudson. We spent some time just laying in the grass outside.

With Charlie gone, Corey and I got to enjoy an adult meal for a change. Corey made steak with an onion and blue cheese sauce. It was delicious. Then we walked to Dairy Queen to top it off.
