Boating, again :)

Lily liked to drive the boat.  (ps, I promise you they wear life jackets, this is when we were docked at the marina and they got their jackets on pronto after the pictures)

Mason liked to use the rope to pull himself back to the boat!

Oh goodness, we spent most of the time on the boat holding onto Lily's life jacket like this, haha.  This picture doesn't show it but she really liked to hang herself over the edge! 

Don't you want to eat him up!  I love my little nephew :)

Rasberry days rodeo

One of our favorite parts of Raspberry Days is the Rodeo!  This is Mason and Lily's first time to see one and they really enjoyed it.  I felt bad for the animals the whole time but besides that it was really fun! 

Ok this picture does no justice to the scenario!  They had kids aging from 1-8 (really 1 years old, oh my) that wanted to, came into the arena.  The point was to chase a sheep that had a bow tied to his tail.  Which ever kid could grab it would win something.  It may have been the funniest thing I have seen in my entire life, oh my goodness! 

This is a picture Mason took of Raquel and me, I like it :)

On the boat and at the "beach"

Everyday we would go on boat rides so people could wake board and so the kids could take a nap :)  One time we tried to find another beach that was better than ours.  It was pretty icky, and I certainly wasn't getting into the water where I could touch haha.  But others who are braver than me did take the kids out.  They liked playing in the sand and pushing papa in the water.  Mason and Lily really liked riding in the front of the boat where they could watch the waves hit the boat and look out for the ducks!

Rasberry days rock climbing

During Raspberry days there is a fun craft fair with lots of tents of people selling different things.  There is also a bouncy place for the kids and rock climbing.  Danny took Mason to the bouncy house for a bit while Raquel, Dad and I with Lily and the doggies went around looking at things.  After we were done Danny and Dad decided to race up the rock wall :)

My dad had hurt his elbow so he pretty much couldn't use his arm at all.  Danny thought he would make things even by not using his left hand.  It was kind of funny watching him try, plus he was in bare feet :)  As you can see he couldn't beat my dad that way, haha. 

The second time however, Danny crawled up there fast like a monkey!
