MN Summer Week 7 - Cedar Crest (The Rest)

Part of Cedar Crest was during week 7 (oops).  Anyway, just a few more pics to share of our trip.

I love getting photos of all the kids together.

This split screen shows a photo from 2013 and a recreation of it from this year.  :)

I think this was our 6th year going to Cedar Crest and it was great as always!

MN Week 6 - Cedar Crest Cell Phone Pics

MN Week 6 - CC Day 6

More paddle boarding...

In the background, you can see Dave's mission was to keep tipping Max!

Rylee strikin' a pose.  :)

You've heard of water aerobics, 

well this is water gymnastics!

As you can see, we spend about 5 hours a day at the lake

and sometimes more if the kids go back for a night swim.  

It is awesome!

MN Week 6 - CC Day 6 (Part Hot Doggin')

The kids only went tubing once, but the hot dog was a hit in the shallows.  Jace loved getting rides from me and Papa.

The big kids loved playing king of the hot dog.  

Dave even got in on the action.

Thurs - CC Day 6: day at the lake...

Jace loves to swim out to second dock...

...he finally decided to take the plunge!

After that, he was a jumping machine!
