BRACE for it...

...the dreaded flu shot...!  Girls are all set for the nasty Winter!
Haylee actually got the flu MIST, while Ash got the shot...but Ash for whatever reason had a total panic attack right before she got injected...so, next time she will try the mist.

Camping

Haylee, Jim and Jim's dad went camping today at Lum's Pond...they were so excited to pitch the tent, cook hot dogs, smores and for breakfast have bacon and eggs on the open fire...poor lil' Ash awoke with a very high fever, so she couldn't go...she cried and was so bummed but we promised to do it again real soon!

Indiana Vaca

A fantastic trip to visit my sister and her family on their beautiful lake house...nothing better than walking right out your back door to paradise...tubing w/ speedboat, evening cocktails on the pontoon boat, laying out on tube floatie, fun runs on wave runner, drinking coffee on the dock of their lake, kayaking, trampoline fun...add on perfect weather and endless laughs with family...and you have an awesome vaca!

Cousin FUN

The 'week-over' as my kids call it, was a fun filled 6 days w/ their cousin's...they had hours of fun at the mall, roller skating, pool, eating ice cream, staying up late, and playing games!  I grew up with a ton of cousin's...so I know first hand how fun it is...right now they are at the stage of 'dressing' identical...everytime they shop they all buy the SAME thing, lol...one day they will cringe when they see pics! HA!
