We just returned from an amazing 5 days up north with Seth's side of the family and we had a fantastic time! A special THANK YOU to Jay and Renee for once again opening their lake home to us, it is a beautiful spot and we are so fortunate to get to go there! We headed up on Saturday morning, Josiah slept the first hour or so and then was awake the rest of the way. He was a great rider, he was happy most of the way until we got about 2-1/2 hours into the 3 hour trip and then he started to voice his displeasure with being strapped into his car seat for such a long time. Never fear, mommy packed crackers in the new snack cup and voila, happy again! We spent the next 5 days relaxing, eating, riding on the pontoon, eating, swimming at the sandbar, eating, playing games, eating, sitting by the campfire and oh, did I mention eating? As usual, we did not go hungry:-) Cindy, Gary, Noah, Vanessa, Erik, Addison and Ashley all came up Saturday as well. Ashley had to leave Monday to go back to work but we were glad she could join us for the time she did! Josh surprised everyone by sneaking in at 1:00AM Monday morning with the help of Seth and I, I love pulling off surprises! The look on Cindy's face when she got up Monday morning and saw Josh was priceless! Lucky for us, Grandma and Grandpa Day were also able to join us this year and arrived Monday afternoon to join in the festivities. We celebrated Seth's 31st birthday on Tuesday. He had a full day with some time on the water, a round of golf with Josh, a few beers (and one shot at the local tavern, the Inn Between) and Grandma Pat's famous coconut cake accompanied by Cindy's yummy homemade ice cream! I think I speak for him when I say it was a great birthday! Unfortunately all good things must come to an end so we reluctantly packed up on Wednesday afternoon to head home. Once again Josiah was a great traveler, sleeping for over 2 hours of the trip, a quick stop for some grub and back in the car for another hour with no crying this time! We all had a wonderful time and got a lot of rest and relaxation in, thank you to Grammy Cindy and Papa Gary for organizing the trip!! We took too many pictures to post them individually so I put together a slide show...enjoy!
