the first thing that happens when we get to the house…we head to the dock.

ropes, nets, buckets…..lots of exploring and lots of things to catch!

What a great way to wrap up your summer!! We just love being together with our cousins too. Our girls would have loved all that time on the water.
Enjoy the day

That chandelier shot at the end is gorgeous!!

What a fun weekend for the kids! When I asked my son what his favorite thing we did this summer was...he said it was the week he got to see his cousins!

Next time I am hiding in your suitcase! It looks like so much fun there. I am so jealous, wish I was there.
