Monday

Yesterday we met with my sister, my other sister + her baby and my other sister's daughter (phew, that's kind of a mouthful!) to do some last minute summer swimming!

I usually prefer the ocean when it comes to the beach but this time we made a trek to the lake.  I actually grew up on this lake, living in the town of Gilford, NH for most of my childhood. I had never been to this particular beach before though and it has been many years since I had even gone to the lake, so it was an adventure.

First, we stopped for breakfast.  Baby Levi loves it when Violet plays peek-a-boo with him!

Leavitt Beach.

The lake was calm and pretty warm.

THE BEST!

Doesn't Violet look SO BIG compared to her little cousin?  Four years difference!

Little A is such a sweet little girl!  I am continually impressed by her willingness to share.  THAT is something we STILL continue to work with Violet on.

Mother and son.  Two of my favorite people.

I LOVE THIS BABY!

Chillin' in his beach tent.  I need one of these! (the tent, not a baby! ;))

Notice Violet's purple mouth?!  She swims until she is absolutely freezing!

"Kiss me Mama!"

Silly girl.

Beautiful!
