A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Reflections of family at the cabin

I look so forward to this week at our family cabin.
A week that our kids and grandkids come to enjoy time together .
We have fun, we laugh, we play together and we make memories.
I picked out a few photo's of our week together....we had a great week!

Yep... Push-ups on the raft.
 Audrey's gymnastic coach encouraged her to keep up on some conditioning while at the lake. 
Uncle Brice had a hard time keeping up, ha ha

Family boat rides are the best, all 10 of us hop on for a casual ride on the lake.
I caught a rare moment where this little one sat still  :)

 ok, so he sat still twice. Uncle Gavin has a hold on him.

Brianna and the kids arrived a few days before the others so we took a little 
side trip over to the Mississippi headwaters in Itasca.

My boy and his little family

This girl loves to kayak, she tied it up to the raft and spent a little time by herself. 
 Being on the lake is a big part of our day.

 I dreamed for the day the grandkids would run full blast and jump off the end of the dock,
 no life jacket, just free to jump, swim and play.
Some kids never grow up, I'm thankful for that. #Brice

 And then there's fishing.
Lots of sunnies to be caught at the end of the dock.
One day Carson caught 24+. 
She's just happy to be Scarlett.

 Jenny and Brie, just chillin'

Sometimes we don't get the swimming suit on before we get in the water.
Little Lewin loves playing in the water. 
and on the beach with the sand toys.

These two (Carson & Scarlett) were little pals, 
they are the closest in age and chummed around quite a bit.

 S'mores are ALWAYS a hit for the Hemmer crew.

 Brianna brought her box of chrysalis's, 
two of them came out the morning they were to leave.

Brianna and her little loves.

flying high...catch me daddy 

 Goofballs and the serious fisherman.

We have the best neighbors ever!
They let us take a few spins on their jet ski, such a fun surprise for us.
Thanks Scott & Kristie.

We added a tree swing this year and the kids loved it.  

 The tube is not only for the water...

 but it serves as some recreation on land too.

Not sure what was going on here???

 Lewin thinks Carson is a riot. 

 We didn't get our big family photo this year, 
but I was able to sneak one of Rick & I with our grandkids. 
We feel so blessed to be able to share this time together at the lake

They are never to big to hold for grandpa!
"Let me love you a little more before your not little anymore"

Another year in the the book, so thankful for the time spent with our family.
