USA - Post 4

Cupcake making with Joni :)
Someone LOVES frosting
A genius way to put on sprinkles - dip the cupcakes!
SO much fun - and delicious!
Shoe shopping time !! We love those American prices :)

my cousin Jenny, Me & Genna out to lunch

The next night I went out to dinner with my friends - so Gigi Sis and Grandma took Genna out on the boat for dinner. Brock decided to photo bomb !

Cuddles



I'm SO HAPPY !!!

Beautiful night on the lake

The next day we went to our friends Jake and Lori's house for a swim / bbq

Mariah came too and was SO great with the girls (that's Jake's little girl Sophia too)

Swimming ladies

Me chatting with Jake and their GIANT dog

It's a great outdoor setup!

We had a really fun day

The girls especially loved the fountains by the side of the pool !



FUN !

Their huge fish tank inside ! (1 of 2 !!)

Great day with friends  Lori & Jake
Back at the lake - Murray spotted this lovely crane

Boat ride time again with Joni !

Kemo fishing

Well, trying to catch a fish

Beth & Mike came down - so out for a boat trip - YAY!

Mike sharing some funny story I guess

SO great to see Beth :)

We drove down to the end of the lake

Then docked the boats and walked up into town

It's only about a block to walk

YAY for lunch !

Look - I can DO it - taco tongue

We can BOTH do it :)

Fries with Dadda

the lovely Mike & Beth

Funny ladies!

Group pic

Same, but with a pensive Genna in the background :)

Cool dudes in their glasses
How many noodles does one person need?

A little swim with Dadda

and a floating mat


The current - we're floating away !

Back with a helping hand from Mama


All dry & warm now

Gigi Sis & Joni

Such a cute little swimsuit on her

The entertainer

That's some wild hair !



My turn to drive !


I found weeds!!!

Grandpa will help you across (we had the 2 boats tied up together)

Now who would like to try the cupcakes I made with Joni ?




One for Grandma

One for Beth

One for Mike

Back in the house - getting her hair done while making Rapunzle play dough hair !



Lovely braided pigtails

I love my new wand too !


I love my dolly too :)

That evening we went out with friends - Joe, Murray & Mike

And the girls - Beth, Jessi, Me & Katie

There was a fun photo booth at the bar - very cool! I need to find a pic of the photos Murray & I got too!

Me & Jessi

Katie & Joe

Yes, they are married :) The newlyweds of the group - 3 years


The group - we sought shelter inside after the setting sun got SO hot outside!

Funny boys



Later we made our way to another bar that wasn't so crowded - pool time!


We also picked the music which was fun


Nice that we had this whole side to ourselves



So is he a good shot?


He is! It was a really fun night out with our friends :)


While we were out, Genna had a GREAT time in the pool

And blueberries with Gigi Sis - Mom took a photo to prove she was eating blueberries - WOW she hasn't touched a blueberry for nearly 2 years!! (picky!)

I like them now!

Grandpa sleeping with a belt eye mask near the crazy dogs

Thanks Gigi :)

Fun for everyone


And the next day, a lovely lunch at Gigi Sally's house !

SO much Fun :)
