Final trip of the summer

We wrapped up "summer" (although it'll still be over 100 degrees for at least another month) with another trip to the cabin for Labor Day. This time all the cousins came and it was fabulous!

I'm pretty sure we caught every lizard in the forest.
The kids made them a lovely home in this tin bucket, where I'm sure they slowly baked to death. This is Brooklyn's pet lizard whom she named "Sally" and she kept Sally in a Pringles container (hopefully Sally got let out before we left!)


My nieces and nephews probably think I'm crazy but we had fun playing Ware-wolves. And we also created the "Red Pringles Chip Club" which was for all the cool kids who ate the Red (plain) Pringles. (Really it was just a way to get the little kids to eat the plain ones and not cry because the big kids ate all the good flavors!). Lauren and David are co-presidents of the club. We did alot of giggling over it, and all the "big kids" thought we were nuts.

Ladybug got all the attention from Daddy that she wanted. She was pretty happy to sit back aways from the group and just watch. It didn't hurt that Daddy was sharing his Sprite with her.
It was nice to spend all day outside in the 80 degrees instead of the 110 degrees. I realized though when I got home that Ladybug has a pretty good tan line just on the portion of her calf that is showing above. Oops!

Glad that you had a good time.
It is good that the kids get to play with cousins.
