Sydney and Gavin Come Again :)

And they brought their mom ;) It was a fun-filled week last week...

First, we went to the Thanksgiving Point farm. Remind me I hate going to farms. I decided I don't like animals, and being out in the sun without a pool nearby. It's bad. Anyway, but it was fun because of the company!

Sydney was soooooo cute with Claire! She was like Claire's little mommy the whole time!

And Claire loved it :)



Sydney and Gavin LOVED making Claire smile and laugh all week--especially with peek-a-boo

And so did Lauren!

And Michelle has got to be the CUTEST pregnant woman ever!

And then, we went to Lagoon! It's not Cedar Point (the BEST amusement park in the world with the biggest rides that we used to go to when we were little) but it was fun! (Thanks Mom and Dad for treating us!! You're the best!)

Jordan and me on the swings!! My nephew took this great picture and the one below too!

Niece, Becca, and nephew, Gavin, being crazy :)

Jordan with Becca and Gavin as well, on this REALLY awful ride that smushes the person on the end (the "soggy fry" from my youth!! :)

On the Sky Ride thing!

Sydney with her favorite Uncle "Mon" (that's short for Monster, you know...)

Sydney and Gavin with their favorite Aunt Nunu :)

And then we went to the cabin over the weekend! (and went on a hike-of-sorts...a not-long-at-all hike :) As you can see from my feet, I wasn't exactly ready for hiking...)

Yep, flip flops make grrrrreat hiking boots.

Sydney and her cousin, Rachel!

Little Lauren on her first hike!

Claire on her first hike as well--she was very prepared also--no shoes! In fact, she had socks on but I had to take them off to wipe her runny nose with them like a million times, ha!

And then we went to Smith & Moorehouse reservoir. It was sooooo beautiful :)


Grandpa with his favorite granddaughter (ok, fine, one of them... :), Claire!

Michellie and Sydney. What a cute picture!

With my two little cuties :)

So, it was a great week with an unfortunate anticlimactic end. I got food poisoning while at the cabin. Puked my guts out for an entire night. It was the worst night of my life probably!!! AHH!! I'm still recovering as we speak, but feeling much better. And I lost 4 lbs. That made it NOT worth it since it was probably mostly water, but almost, since it was nice to see a lower number on the scale.... :)
