memorial day

After all the work that went into Riley's birthday party we were ready for some R&R. So Sunday after church we packed up the car and headed up to Maine to visit the cousins.

Monday ended up being the perfect day for kayaking, which was to be one of two major activities of the day. (The other being celebrating cousin Erica's 11th birthday!) Jon and Julie built a house a few years back that is five minutes from Lake Bunganutt, a beautiful small lake which is the perfect size for family kayak trips. A few pictures and some video:

Lounging and splashing














Riley LOVES kayaking














A pretty part where the water enters the lake

Looking cute (he always can strike a pose...)














Paddling with Daddy

Looking cool back on shore














After we were done we headed off to Pizza Hut for Erica's birthday celebration. It's amazing how grown up Erica is all of a sudden. She's changed so much over the past five years, and she's not a little girl any more. She is a sweet girl though and she loves her cousin Riley. It's really fun to watch the two of them together. How many 11 year old kids do you know who would want to sit next to their two year old cousin at their cousin's birthday party? She's so cool.

The pictures at Pizza Hut weren't all that great, so here's a picture of Erica and Riley at his birthday party. Happy 11 Erica!
