Rolling through the August photos since I only have one day left…
In the middle of the month, we spent 5 days on Spirit Lake with my parents, sister, aunt and cousins. This is our 5th year going to the same place and the same house! We love it! We always have so much fun – the days just fly by. We laugh, cook, eat, walk, bike, eat ice cream, play in the water, play lots of games, shop, drink coffee and enjoy each other’s company.
Playing kubb is a highlight of our week.
Doing a few kubb warm up stretches before the big game.
The girls had fun playing in the little play house again.
We have fun playing games inside, too. This year the girls loved playing the butterfly peg game where you try to get rid of all the pegs but one. Sylvia was a little challenged, I think. 🙂
We like to make and eat great food.
We took a hike at the Dickinson County Nature Center. It’s a beautiful place with prairies, ponds and flower gardens.
There are fun things to do inside the nature center, too!
It was really windy during our stay, but on our last full day, we found a beach that was out of the wind. We spent the afternoon at the water hanging out on our floaties.
The girls are well prepared for the water. It kind of reminded us of playing in the water in Malta. And kinda not. 🙂
We drove down to Lincoln after Spirit Lake to meet Aliyah, my new niece. She was only 1 week old. This is the first time Sylvia held her! Aliyah is mighty adorable and so fun to hold.
Taking her outside for some fresh air.
It’s so fun having a sleeping baby on your lap!
