Camp Minnie and Pop Pop 2015

A summer tradition...Jack spent a few days on his own being spolied, much to the envy of his sister!

Pop Pop and jack getting ready for a hiking excursion.  Jack was not too excited at first.  I coached him to be gracious and knew he'd be a good sport!



Soon as Jack arrived he started gushing over how amazing everything was.  I think we might need to take this boy out into nature more often!


Especially when you consider his highlight was seeing a tree growing sideways which he insisted Pop Pop take a picture of :)


It was a long walk uphill! A few (meaning many) rests made it all the better!  Any excuse to drink out of a canteen ;)


Nature boy!  


After climbing about 100 steps Jack was awarded by an awesome view of the waterfall.  Not quite What he was expecting...


As he thought he'd see this thanks to Pixar!  Can't blame him...Pop Pop does resemble Carl ;) ;) ;)


Not to worry.  After his legs stopped uncontrollably shaking he descended down the mountain and stopped each passerby to say "it's really hard work getting up there but totally worth it!"  If he said it once he said it 100 times that his hiking excursion with Pop Pop was "AWESOME!"

Tea Please!

Minnie and Mom took Bronwyn to the American Girl Cafe for a little tea.  She adopted a friend and together they enjoyed a splendid luncheon complete with a make your own cupcake!


Minnie made it all the more special playing tea party games with Bronwyn! 


Giving my princess some love!


Bronwyn kept asking if it was someone's birthday!  Clearly a special day with two of my favorite ladies :)


Double Trouble

Mike and Max joined us for a weekend of fun in the sun!  Dart gun wars!  Swimming!  Cookouts!  Bowling! Movies!  And Marathon Monopoly.  Twin cousins mean double the fun!

Mike showed Bronwyn a new style for wearing her hairbow collection.  Lookout fashion week :)


Bowling proved that Daddy still has it as he came in number one!  Mom came in last.  Shocking, I know!


Bronwyn almost beat one of the twins.  I'd tell you who but after 12 years I'm still not sure who is who ;)



Twins taught jack to play pool.  He wasn't impressed :)


Max, Jack, and Mike.  Good looking boys!



Every little girl should be so lucky!
