4th of July at Oma and Opa's

My family knows how to live it up!

Last week we had our long adventure-filled holiday weekend at Oma and Opa's. It's definitely the sign of a good trip when you get back and you've played so hard that you can't lift your arms without wincing. Hanging on for dear life to a tube going 20+mph behind Opa's boat might have something to do with it.

We had a lot of fun grown-up time on the boat in the afternoon while the kids napped. Not only did we ride the tube; We road the "Crotch Rocket!"

The kids went nonstop too: the slip n' slide,

the playground (and the tallest slide Cole's ever seen),

the pool, the boat, and Oma and Opa's deck. (Don't call child protective services! Those are EMPTY.)

The best part was having my whole family together. My sister and her husband (Auntie Nussy and Uncle Matt) were thoroughly amused by my wild little boys.

We were all exhausted by the end of the week!

I need a vacation to recover from my vacation... not to mention some serious dieting after all the excellent home-cooked meals. Graham agrees!
