4th fun

We had a fun 4th of July at a cabin in Cold Spring.  I sadly forgot to charge my camera battery, so the only pics I got were with my phone.  It has about a  5 second delay, so the pics are not good…and none of Silas.  He’s not into posing for more than a millisecond these days.  This is the cute little cabin we hung out at.  We actually stayed in a camper, but ate meals and relaxed on the cabin porch overlooking Lake Bolfing.

Eli absolutely LOVED the water and beach.  Between him and Ollie, I’m not sure who loved it more.  Ollie cried if he was tied up away from the lake.

He cooked up some mud/sand pies.

This is Eli and his cousin Leah out in the kayak.  It was such a beautiful evening.

One more of them paddling off.  The sunset and lake was so beautiful.  Silas had a difficult night in the camper on the 4th….between the firework noises and sleeping in a camper, it didn’t go so well.  We got a taste of a ‘family bed’ that night.  Eli was already sleeping with us, and Silas ended up with us too.  We were all so tired, we actually slept well lined up like little sardines.

I got some good pics, a couple of Silas too, will send them to you. The weekend went fast and your family left before the 'swim across the lake' but it was great to have you guys there and we had fun. Its too bad Silas had a tough time, next time perhaps he could sleep in the cabin :) I really liked swimming with Eli and making up stories about visiting 'Esa Island, Norie Island, Leah Island, Dobie Island, ' etc.
