Packing and Playing

Helping Daddy pack for his trip to New Zealand

And playing in his new sandbox...

Blondie...

My sandy-brown-haired boy turned into a blondie with the sun this summer :-)

9 Mile and Massey Station

Hanging out at the beach....

Then some playtime at the campground :-)



"I don't know"

My attempts at getting Michael to do his "I don't know" shrug. Too cute not to post some of them :-)

Adventures in finger painting...

I've been wanting to try finger painting with Michael just to see what he would do with it. Well....now we know ;-)

Part 4 (The End)

Yikes - I told we took a lot of pictures!!!! Like I said, we had a lot of time to relax and enjoy ourselves on this vacation. Here's a bunch of pictures from throughout the week. :-)

We found out on this trip that Michael is pretty much fearless. Not only did he love to play with the turtles in Nisswa, but he also loved touching and watching the many fish we caught!

 

And home we go....exhausted ;-)

Part 3 - Turtle Races

The Turtle Races in Nisswa deserves its own post....partly because of all the pictures we took O:-) Children young and old can purchase a chance to race a turtle. We took part in 5 of the 6 types of races and although we didn't win any of them it was definitely a lot of fun! We discoved that Michael is fearless when it comes to animals (see the fish post later) and wanted to play with the turtles so bad that every time we had to leave the circle he screamed in protest!
