Family Week of Fun!


Marc and Paige and their 5 kids came for a week. It was quit a week. Never a dull moment or down time.
Monday we went to Jetty Island, or "my jelly island" as Sophie calls it. The water is so warm and shallow and its tons of fun for the kids.

Waiting for the Ferry

Jackson always went in fully clothed.

Uncle Scott teaching them how to skim board!

Henry was so tired, he almost fell asleep in the sand!

The kids worked all day on this pool and then when the tide came in they did everything to save it. Sophie was the last one still trying to save it as the water took over. She just kept yelling, "guys, come on." They had moved on.


I wonder who he gets the belly from? Sorry dude, it a curse.


Still trying to save the pool.

All the grand kids. That's me behind Henry. He was asleep and we had to literally hold him there and I was trying to not be in the picture!

Tuesday we laid low while Marc's gang went on a hike. Then we all met at Andrew and Emily's for a BBQ and slip and slide fun....down hill...with soap. Sadly no pictures of this but some VERY entertaining home video.

Wednesday we went on Scott's boat and watched everyone try to wake board. Very entertaining. The little girls shot up with no problem. Henry discovered that he LOVES boats. Then we went to Scott and Britney's for dinner.

Sophie and Henry (as usual, no pants)

Thursday Marc's Family headed downtown to do all the fun stuff down there. We met for the daily swim at Grandmas and then dinner.


Uncle Andrew took everyone for motorcycle rides!


Henry and Aunt Emily!


Sophie's turn!


Friday the girls all went to see The American Girl movie. Grandma, Aunt Megan and myself all wanted to see it but needed younger ones to not look too silly. I loved it. Then of course more swimming and family dinner!

Saturday Paige got up and did her Triathlon. Then that night we had Family Baseball.

The downstairs bathroom looked like a Ross dressing room (as Katie put it) when everyone was swimming!
Family Whiffle ball. Paige, Braden, Scott, Luke, Kelsey and Soph!

The whole Fam Damly, Minus dad. He took the picture. Yes, those are Dick's wrappers and drinks. It wouldn't be a Porter event with out it.
