Home Sweet Home.

We returned home and Asher decided to build a "caterpillar cafe" in our backyard to feed all the bugs.

Sitting & watching for caterpillars.

He hung up paper lanterns so that they would have "lovely homes" (and a lady bug landed on one in front of him, after which he stood up with the biggest smile on his face, pumped his fists in the air, and said 'this is the perfect day' .... yeah... I love him.  Oh, and the photo bombing flower stomper in the background, I love him too).

The Drive Home. When Sully decided to just start yelling as loud as he could. And Asher found headphones.

Headphones on.... Sully is silent.  Asher is wary. 

Asher starts to remove headphones.  Sully pretends to be none the wiser.

Sully starts screaming.

Friendly Fires

Until I enlarged this photo I couldn't tell that Asher had 77 marshmallows in his mouth.

Yep.  It's on fire.  Intentionally.

Indoor Activities for Rainy Times

Arts & Crafts (with five-legged dinosaurs by Ashley)

Isaac is the happiest and most laid back baby.  All smiles and chit chat that one :)

Grandpa Bob with his tribe.

Matching shirts.  Can you tell?  Oh you can't?  Come on Sully.

The world's cutest Patriots fan.

Art in the boathouse.

...that time we snuck away for "groceries".

Bob was able to hide here for a good five minutes before the boys found him.  I don't know that there has ever been so much laughing in hide-and-seek.

Fat.  Rich.  Wild.

Life at the Lake

Longbow Tour from Captain Bob

The passage to Lake of the Woods

Bubba's First Mate

Canada-Bound

We all look pretty good still in this picture huh?  Yeah.  This was in front of our house before the first 8 hour drive ;)   In all seriousness, the boys did great and the drive was a breeze.  Well worth an incredible trip to our neighbors to the North.

Camped out in International Falls (well, camped out in chairs... we stayed in the lodge).

They were watching a fisherman.   It looks like they are standing for the national anthem, doesn't it?  I can tell you one thing, if that were the case, my bet would be these boys would be kneeling.

Running amok in Voyageur's National Park.

Sully found his pockets.

Homemade yamaka for pancake breakfast.
