4th of July

Hi! It's Maryn!
We haven't written in a while, but that's just cause we've been so busy!
Summer is the best, don't you think?
We've been going up to Sugar Lake on the weekends.
Here's some pictures from the 4th of July!



Picking strawberries was SO fun!
We got lots and made Strawberry Shortcake.





Wanna know what else we did this weekend?
We went "deep sea swimming"!
That's where you take your boat out to the middle of the lake and you jump off and swim.
We were scared at first, but we warmed up to it!


We also had cousins camp!
All of our cousins were at the lake. We made garden stones, read stories, and played games.


Get that balloon on there tight, Brayden!




We also went to the Annandale carnival.
Some parts were really fun!

Some parts were not so fun!
Leah: "Dad, Didn't I tell you LAST YEAR that this is NO FUN??"

Thankfully, cotton candy brings an easy smile!
(especially if you eat it wearing your new princess crown that you won at the duck pond!)


After we left Sugar Lake, we went to the party at Papa's golf club.


So many fun games!
"I'll beat ya, mom!"
Our very favorite thing was to run and jump into the sandbox.
I think dad called it a sand trap.
Can we upgrade our sandbox and get one of these at home???
Pony Rides!
This is me riding Twitter the pony.















What a fun time!
I hope your fourth was as fun as ours was!
Love,
MBL

Set Sail to Sugar Lake

Yo Ho Maties,
This weekend Jake and His Crew (aka. MBL) set sail for Sugar Lake.
We totally love Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so when you see us, you can call
Brynn-Jake
Leah-Izzy
Maryn-Cubby
Daddy-Captain Hook
Mommy-Mr. Smee
Reese-Skully (the parakeet)
Check out our pirate gear!
We spent lots of time sailing the Jolly Roger and Bucky, looking for mermaids, squidee (the bad guy), and TREASURE!

Did you find any treasure in that sandbox, Cubby?
Getting ready to board the Jolly Roger.
Pirate Grammy told us bedtime stories!
And, there was a big flood!
Shiver me timbers!
Good thing we brough our rain boots!



This year at Sugar Lake, we are big enough to walk the plank!
(Well, if Captain Hook catches us, of course)
Ready, Hook?




Oh, what a fun weekend we had in the sun!
Looking forward to lots of treasure hunts at the lake this summer.
Later maties!
XOXO
Jake and his crew
