Indiana Vacation

I know, I know, we live in Indiana, how can we take an Indiana vacation? The Florida Daugherty family took 2 weeks off and came up to Indiana to spend some time up here for an Indiana summer vacation. They started and ended at mom and dads but spent all the time in between up at Lake James. Here are a *few* (sorry, there really are a lot of) pictures from their trip:

Cailin and Cohen in the wagon headed down to the pond at Grandma and Grandpa Slushers.

The boat ride over to the beach wore Cohen out so he slept nearly the whole time in the shade.

Cailin playing at the beach.

Cohen finally woke up and was able to play on the beach for a little while before we had to race back across the lake to beat the storm- it certainly was not a boring day.

Cohen was so excited to finally have someone his size to wrestle with....

.....and snuggle up on the chair with when he was tired.

or someone else to snuggle up with. Cohen likes to hug a lot, and one of the million times he was hugging Carson, Carson looked at me with this false-pained look and said

"Why won't he leave me alone?"

And I said, "He likes you, he thinks that you are pretty cool!"

Carson- "He does? Why?"

Me- "Because you are his older cousin and that makes you cool!"

And that was enough of an explaination for Carson, after that he didn't seem to mind having Cohen around, whether he was hugging him or not.

Cailin on her mom's old bike. She's just so darn cute!

and if you are going to take a picture of one of them...

...you have to take a picture of all three.

Grandpa and all the grandkids down at Grandpa's pond.

You would act like this too if you had two older brothers who drove you crazy!

Cailin being her usual "mom" self and taking care of Cohen.

And one last shot of Grandpa and the boys fishing. I seem to like ending my posts on a sunset picture. Seems fitting doesn't it.
