Ed, Tammy, Annette & Miranda were on-hand this weekend at the lake. The Yauger family rented Linda Warner's cottage this past week and the kids really enjoyed playing with each other over the long weekend. Earlier that week, Ed's parents came up and stayed for a few days without the kids. They enjoyed going to the falls & hitting the Casinos.
On Sunday, we all went miniature golfing in celebration of Liam's birthday (last week), only to learn that Aldrich's dairy & ice cream bar will be closing after 40 yrs of business. No more "Meat & Ice Cream" sign. :-(
Then it was a day at the beach, as the weather cooperated nicely for the weekend. The Hello Kitty kite got a work-out, as did the nerf football, as Liam practiced his throwing and catching with his Dad in the water & on the beach. It wasn't all fun though, since the end of the summer marked the annual bringing up of the sail boat, which I only got in the water 3 times this year. :-( Oh well, thanks to Ed & Bob for helping me haul it up the ramp.
Soon the Yaugers had to go, and before we joined them on the long drive south, we did the annual measurement & family picture on the swing. Tristy grew 3" over the past year, while both Liam & Gilly only grew 2 &1/2" This made Tristy realize that there may be hope one day of catching up to his older siblings one day. "I'm growing! I'm growing!" he cried! For whatever reason, each year we do our best to get a serious picture on the swing, yet this never works out well. Someone always blinks or cries despite 40 takes. This was the best shot I had out of about a dozen snaps. Hopefully my Dad got a better one. (If so, please post it)
