Lake Norris with Cousins!

What a fun week at the lake! The whole gang was there - 6 kids and 6 adults so we had man to man coverage and everything was under control ----most of the time. Bebop kept saying we had 6 kids under 6 and it sure felt like it. It is so fun to see everyone pal up instantly. Griffin and Jordan were best buds and Peyton and Grace were inseparable. Lucy and Grant…..well, let's just say they are getting there, but no one was strangling each other so they are progressing :) Thanks for a fun trip Bebop and PopPop. Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip!

The Brawler is a winner! The 4 big kids loved riding to marinas on it. They screamed faster! and More Bumps! the whole time. 

Nothing like relaxing on a hammock with 4 kids :)

Best buds!

We got to celebrate Bebops birthday a little early. The big girls were great helpers.

Sister, sister! Hanging on PopPop's new bear bench

Well this pretty much sums it up. Lots of time was spent hanging in the water  just floating around.

We tried the old tube out and the little ones got brave - no hands! That only lasted until they fell off :)

They all fit on the couch and even organized themselves - girls youngest to oldest and then boys.

Jordan and Peyton had PopPop on quite the mission. They paddled across the lake and collected huge rocks of "gold" and then brought them back to wash and "sell." It took up the whole afternoon. 

Lucy might be small - but she thinks she is one of the girls. She wanted her turn on the slide. We eventually gave in (with a life vest of course and lots of people helping to slow her down and catch her). She LOVED it. 

Ella got in a few times…..still not a water dog, but she is getting better.

The Finck Girls tubing. Lucy thought it was hilarious. She laughed the whole time. 

Watch out for the first 2 drivers - they are speed demons. 

Lucy liked to kayak to look for ducks. She was always quick to point out when we saw them.

Making mud pies

So Sweet

Another "camp adventure" 

They are off to explore. Jordan was the camp counselor and PopPop and the little kids were the campers. 

Buddies

Jordan and Peyton were so excited by this fish they caught - it was pretty big.

Lucy loved watching it swim in circles. 

We caught frogs - a lot of frogs - like 20 in one sitting. It was crazy. Peyton and Grace are babysitting the frogs on the bench.

Showing off her "Summer teeth" (some are here and some are there)

Jordan made great strides on the real big girl ski's. She did great!

Peyton was not to be outnumbered by Grace and got up the courage to do the ski board. She was awesome!

All lined up!

Lucy ringing the doorbell in "her' house.

It was hot - but that won't keep Jordan away from roasting Smores,

Peyton with one of her many little frogs. Her and Jordan were catching them left and right. 

Making Bebop's birthday cake - Not sure how much ended up in the actual cake pans :)

We celebrated the 4h of July with tie dyed shirts and fireworks. 

The whole Finck family out for a jet ski ride.

Just lounging in a chair, kicking their feet up and having a little drink. This is the life!

All ready for fireworks!

So Big!

It wouldn't be a lake trip without water balloons! This new product was awesome. 30 water balloons in 30 seconds. Amazing
