Ain't No Party Like a Steiner Cousin Party!

We were THRILLED that Grandma and Grandpa finally moved into what has officially been dubbed "The Big Party House." We were even more thrilled that the Millers and our sixsome were all able to  spend Labor Day weekend there together. It had never happened before that all 6 grandkids were under the same roof at the same time, so this was a new experience.... and never a dull moment, of course.

 Wee Rylee in the shadow of the Big Party House
 
 Party in Grandma's Bed!
 
 Rylee wasn't so sure about this whole lake thing, but she was ok as long as she was holding on tight to Daddy
 
 The boys, on the other hand, were instantly in love
 
 Drying out
 
 We made sure to bring our Kentucky gear along
 
 Liam was happy 'cause there were more people who wanted to hold him
 
 Afternoon thunderstorm? Let's make GOO!
 
 We ate cantaloupe with headlamps on...
 
 We did the cancan dance with Aunt Ali...
 
 We had a violin concerto courtesy of Aidan...
 
 

On the pontoon (cue the music!) with Grandma

 Despite how uncomfortable he looked, Liam thought this life jacket was hilarious
 
 After the boat ride, he tackled it
 
 Upside down giggles

Cheers!
 
 

 Another afternoon thunderstorm? No problem! Watercolors did the trick!
