Silver Lake 2012


For the second year in a row we have packed up and gone to Silver Lake with Jeff's parents. This year we stayed at a lovely cottage that had more than enough room for our crew. I know I appreciated the extra living space upstairs, as it made for a convenient place to sneak away to nurse Julian, and the extra bathroom was nice too. Anyways...on with the pictures!

Julian hung out in the stroller while the big boys had S'mores:

I'm not sure why both boys had their shirts off, but am guessing it's because it was a hot evening. Monkey see, Monkey do...
A trip to Silver Lake wouldn't be complete without ample time spent at and on the sand dunes. Jeff and the boys went up (errr, should I say around) the dunes in Jeff's truck, while Julian hung around with Mom...literally (thank goodness for my BabyHawk!).


We went to the beach a few times (Julian's first time!), and the boys had a blast despite the water being near frigid in temperature. Jeff and Adam braved a quick underwater dip in the big lake, but for the most part, we were thankful for the little lake inlet at the state park which offered warmer lake water for the kids to play in.





And of course, no trip to Silver Lake would be complete without a trip or three to Craig's Cruisers. Adam was beyond thrilled to be able to ride his OWN go kart. He didn't crash once!

Happy to have had a week away to make memories for the boys. They are already asking to go back. Maybe next year, boys!
