Some videos for the grandparents' enjoyment

The following videos are probably not very exciting to most, but I figured at least the grandparents would get a kick out of them. Enjoy!


The "jump and dive:"

Building a tower (and then wanting to watch himself on video):

The "stretch and dive:"

He did this over and over for a long time:

 

Watch out, kitty!  And watch out, Quinn (no cats or children were permanently harmed in the making of this video):

 

Annual trip to the UP

Every year, we go to this great place in Michigan with our dear friends.  We always look forward to it, and enjoy it so much.  We rent a van and pile in 4 adults, 3 kids, and all our gear.  We drive all night (so the kids can sleep), and stay one week at a "resort" (more like a campground) right on the water.  Here is a picture story of our trip:

We enjoyed boating, water skiing, and playing in the sand:

 

One day, we all piled into our 15 passenger van and went to Canada.  The Bushplane Museum was a highlight for me, especially since I didn't think I was going to like it.  Quinn had a blast!

 

Sometimes it's the simple things that bring enjoyment:

We also took our annual trip to The Antlers, where they have fun loud sirens and bells.

We saw rainbows and amazing sunsets:

 We caught a couple of fish:

We ate ice cream while Quinn entertained us:
