new friend & captain Seth

We just got back from another trip to our trailer. Seth, Ethan & myself were sick with a cold virus, but despite that we still had a very nice time. The weather was beautiful and we were able to swim and go for boat rides. My parents & sisters were there and Michelle & Danielle joined us for the weekend as well.


Meet our new friend!
This friend decided to join us in bed the first night we were there. When we went to bed the first night we heard some noises, like chewing on wood or something. Paul reassured me that if it was a mouse, it would be more afraid of us then we are of it. So, Paul went to sleep and I was awake for 1/2 hour or so and I heard more noises. I woke Paul up and he checked it out, but we found nothing. At 6:30 in the morning, Paul wakes me up saying that something bit his arm, and then a minute later his leg. I lifted up the sheets and found a mouse in our bed. Yuck! We both jumped out of that bed so fast. Then we found it sitting on our couch just staring at us. So Paul's theory of them being more afraid of us went out the window. I know that I did not sleep very well for a few nights. But we did set out traps and caught 1 mouse and a mole. Hopefully that won't happen again!
here is Papa's pontoon boat

hmmm . . . which way should I go?

I think we'll head that way!

here are some more beautiful pictures while on the boat ride



We are back home for about 2 weeks and will go to the trailer one more time for 2 weeks and then we will close it for the season. It is amazing how fast the summer is going. Before we know it summer will be over and fall will be here. Time keeps moving on.

Oh that is so gross! I'm glad it was Paul and not you though! :0)
Paul must be able to take lots of holidays to be able to go to the trailer 3 times in one summer - wow, I'm jealous! We're lucky to get away for one week in the summer.
Great pictures! And I love the pictures of your boys in your newest post - Ethan is so adorable with his big smiles.
