Memorial Day 2011

We spent Memorial Day on Wixom Lake this year!  We had tons of fun and the weather was perfect!  We went up the day before Memorial day, had a cookout and let the kids play.  The boys were supposed to camp that night, but that plan was put on hold due to soggy ground from thunderstorms earlier in the day. Here's some pictures from our weekend...

Caden drove the Gator for the first time.  Matt and Joel stayed very close because turning was still a concept that Caden struggled with.  He figured out what the gas pedal did pretty quickly, but not the steering wheel.  He just assumed that Trees, bushes, Daddy's Truck, would get themselves out of the way of his path.
 

Carter was brave enough to join Caden on his maiden voyage.  Mommy stayed close...

Once the other kids got wind that the Gator was out of the garage, all of them took their turns driving.

Breakfast on Memorial day!

Caden and Jackson watching Star Wars before naptime..

First trip on the boat this year!  Caden still doesn't like his lifejacket...but he was distracted with his juice.

Maddie was squished a little in her life jacket.  The good thing about it is that it held her head up for her!  :-)

Throwing rocks into the lake while we had our cookout...



Yes, that is a (empty) pony keg of Oberon.  Caden is showing off his strength. We'll have to compare this picture to a similar one when he is in college.
