.....Almost 10 of us!

The Witciks came to visit us recently.  There are 5 of us, and almost 5 of them.  This makes for HUGE fun!  We had a (surprisingly) relaxing 5 days with them, considering there were 5 children under the age of 6 in the house!!

Playing football, flashlights, and fancy headbands.  Look closely for the sequined headbands!

I was giving paddle boat rides.

E taking a moment to relax.

2 men and 3 children venture out in a canoe.  They did great!

Family fun in a paddle boat.

A beach scene.  The kids play so well together!

 William acting as the paddle boat guide. 

Little Noah loved playing in the sand and building volcanoes and bridges!

Not all our time was spent on the sand...we spent our share of time on the water.  We parked the boat in the middle of the lake and swam off of it.  The water was lovely.

Ellie was such a brave jumper!  It was so fun to see how excited she was about jumping and swimming!

Mike and E

Audrey and Ellie always enjoy each other's company.

Look at that line-up of kids!  Aren't they cute?!

Ellie sharing her popsicle with Nora.

Geez...lots of popsicle sharing went on!

We had campfires and roasted marshmallows....

.....and witnessed some spectacular sunsets.

There was some 4-wheeling.....

...and memories made on the beach.  It was perfect.

The MOTHERS!

We had a great time with the Witciks.  We watched a lot of Olympics, ate a lot of ice cream, and were able to catch up.  The husband and I actually felt like we were on vacation as well, because we had such a mellow week.  

Typical chaos that ensues when we whip out the cameras and attempt a group photo....

BUT...I am married to someone who is the oldest of 4 siblings.  This position comes with skills...he decided to engage the kids in a game of Simon Says...
"Hands on your belly!"

"Clap your hands!"

"Simon says raise your hands!"

We had a blast, E, Mike, Ellie, Noah, and Baby W.  Come back soon!
