Another summer at the Big Party House has come and gone, but not before we got to have all the Hoben grandkids and all the Miller grandkids under one roof. Of course, there was never a dull moment. I apologize in advance for the plethora of pictures. It was too hard to make cuts. Not pictured, however, is the naked cousin dance party in the fancy shower.
Don't let them fool you. This was the quietest they were all weekend long.
Rylee loves "Liam's" boat. She pretty much refused to get in the water in any other way at first.
Liam looks so cute in his Puddle Jumpers, but he prefers to wear them on land. The water is NOT his favorite.
There was lots of goofiness
And crazy lake jumping
"Whatchu talkin bout, Willis?'
Snacks on the Pontoon (cue the theme music)
Some of us were lulled to sleep on the Pontoon
Boat Boys
Grandpa had lots of help navigating the waters of Lake Rhodiss
Waterbugs
There was lots of fishing going on
Aidan caught a few of these babies!
Even the smallest fisherman got in on the action!
Tubing was way too much fun (unless you capsized... then notsomuch)
There was Smores at the fire pit
Some of us enjoyed our Smores more than others
The (traditional??) marching around the fire pit with sparklers parade
Sillies
Liam met a girl...
When Masons Attack
Most importantly, there was A LOT of love.
Too much love???
We saw some gorgeous sunsets
Liam developed a drinking problem
'Yaking
Mommy's favorite part was that our brave girl by the end of the vacation had no fear and got in the water and swam all by herself. She didn't even want to get out when it was threatening to storm and she was turning into a prune on our last day. So proud!
Atta girl!
Not sure what's occurring here though...
Couch Picing it
I always wanted to put these pics side by side. On the left is Sean and Monica the morning after they got engaged in November of 2007. The BPH was just a wooded lot then. On the right, is us (and so much more than a wooded lot!!) now. My, what a difference 7 years makes! :-)
