My First Bike Ride

This was before the meltdown. I liked the first 3/4 of the ride, though!

Lakeside Fun

We went to the lake last week for the annual Meet the Babies get together. This year everyone met me! I liked getting to eat my meals with Hadley. The water was a little too cold for us kiddos to swim, but I had just as much fun in the wading pool.

Elsa, Ellie, and I "rode" in the boat.
All the girls, minus Mommy and Abby.
Playing at the cabin with Elsa.
The whole crew except Elsa, who was napping, and Danielle and Owen, who couldn't make it this year. I can't wait to meet the two new babies next year!

Mommy and Aunt Katy might make the U.S. synchronized swimming team if they keep practicing! Check out their routine at www.joeandkaty.blogspot.com. The video is posted on July 14. Definitely Olympic material!

My First Camping Trip

I went on my first camping trip. We hiked up to a beautiful lake. This has been one of Mommy's and Aunt Katy's favorite hikes for a lot of years. They said it was a lot easier without kids on their backs!
The view at the top was worth it, though!
Daddy, Uncle Joe, and Elsa took a dip to reward their efforts. The water was very cold!
For some reason, I became a messy eater when camping! Mom didn't even bother with a bib sometimes because I was already dirty from exploring the campsite.
Daddy and Uncle Joe had a little trouble setting up their tent...
...but Elsa stepped in to save the day!

I've been to two Shifty Sailors concerts now. Does that make me a groupy?
