Graham Family Vacation

It was time again for our annual Graham Family Vacation down at Mom & Dad's awesome lake home.  As always, it was a weekend filled with sunshine, laughter, great food, cousin love, pontoon rides, and swimming, swiming, and more swimming.  This year was especially significant, as Nathan & Heidi joined the ranks as parents, and 'sweet little Kenzie' (as Hadley kept calling her) got to experience the boat and pool for the first time.  She also took the opportunity to show them just who's boss... She cried until midnight the first night, but slept just fine once they decided to take her home to her own bed (hehe).
Here is the little thing, almost 6 months old already, with Hadley.

Piper, almost 3, and Jeremiah, almost 4, getting ready for a boat ride.














Watch out! Hadley & Grandpa were a couple of crazy drivers!

Back to the pool for 'launching' (aka jumping), as Piper liked to put it.  Grammie was her preferred catcher, or probably more appropriately her preferred target.









Hadley was thrilled to discover that she was brave enough (and tall enough) to jump in by herself.  Note her tightly closed lips, so that she wouldn't gulp up any more pool water than she already had.

Taking a little time out to warm up.


















All dried up for some ice cream.  Grandma always seems to have just the right treat on hand for them.  ~ Savannah 1.5, Jeremiah, Hadley 4.5, Piper, & Brooklyn 5.5

Brooklyn & Hadley are such great little buddies. We started out the weekend by having a group photo taken, hence their cute little matching pink dresses.  With 5 little girls now, pink seemed the obvious theme.  We shall see what God has instore for Mike & Jill's 4th baby due this fall. Which of course means that this was the 7th family vacation in a row, that someone was pg (with more than half of those being Jill)!  She was cute as ever.

The whole Graham crew.  Wow.  God is good.  Thanks for a fabulously fun, wacky, and refreshing weekend together.
