Weekend Craziness

We had a very busy and fun filled weekend! Both of my sisters came up to Michigan for the weekend, including my niece, Emi, and nephew, Clayton. Nick & my brother-in-law, Derek, headed over to the family cottage for a work weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to show all the progress, and hard work they made on the cottage, but I do have tons of pictures from our adventures!




Friday morning, we all headed off to the Flat Rock Community Center for a nice swim in their in-door swimming pool. Besides a few people in the lap lanes, we had the pool all to ourselves.

Here is a pre-picture of Brooke & Emi in their matching cover-ups. It took Brooke a little while to get warmed up to the pool idea, but Emi of course was ready to play right from the beginning!

Ta da! You can also see little Clayton sleeping in the background of this picture!

Tara & Emi

Some how I managed to squeeze into my tankini...however, there weren't going to be ANY pictures of that above water!

Aunt Lea & Emi coming over to say hi!

The girls loved each other's company and absolutely wanted to do everything together! Here is a picture of them nicely brushing their teeth.

Most mornings & evenings consisted of us sneaking over to the neighbor's swing set to get out a little bit of energy. This was Brooke's first time on the big swing!

Emi of course was a champ at the big swings!

Bath time after our nice busy fun day!

Clayton even woke up to help with bath time!

Look at that big guy picking up his head!

Aunt Lea reading the girls their morning stories.

Brooke first time with holding baby Clayton. Emi stayed close by to give her lots of help!

Who would have guessed this car was big enough for two!?!?

Finally on Sunday we ended our fun weekend, by letting the girls get out all their energy at "triangle park".

Look mama no hands!

Brooke did find running on the bridge as one of the most fun & funniest things!
