Family shot.
Dad and his girls.
Lena splashing around.

Chris's Uncle Jim was camping about an hour and a half away from where we were staying, so we took a day trip to see him and his family. We went swimming and cooked out while we were there. They had warmer water there, so this was the first time the kids were in a lake. They loved it!
M and L liked the boat rides we went on. They immediately relaxed when the boat started moving, and they were usually asleep before we got back home.

Lena posing for the camera!
Mom and Maddie. I absolutely loved taking the girls on the boat. Since they are always on the move now, they don't like to cuddle too much. They would let us hold and cuddle them on the rides (typical mom thing to say, I imagine).
Dad tossing Maddie in the air.
Dad and Lena- Mackinac Bridge
Mom, grandma, and the girls
The girls watching Dora- their new love! We used our DVD player for the first time on our trip- well worth the extra money we payed for the van! We needed to buy a few minutes one morning in the house, so we popped Dora in. It literally only bought us a few minutes, however, it got us a cute picture :)
