Dennie Kids: July 4, 2009

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

• Waking up and eating 4th of July breakfast in our cabin-Reagan and Anderson’s favorites were the blueberries and strawberries
• Hiking down to Cedar Falls-we have 2 good climbers. Reagan climbed back up pretty much by herself and Anderson is a little unsteady going up or down. Graham was fussy going down but had his bottle at the waterfall and fell asleep on the way up
• A lunch buffet at Josh and Zach’s cabin-Anderson had 4 slices of cheese and Reagan loved the watermelon
• Reagan and Anderson paddle boating with Mom (who said that was her last paddle boat ride)-Graham and Dad stayed behind since Graham refused to wear his life jacket
• Hurrying back to change into our swimsuits since it looked like rain was coming
• Swimming at the Lodge pool-Graham loved it and would kick and squeal. Anderson even tried the arm floaties and did pretty good. Reagan just wanted Mom and Dad to throw her in the air
• Reagan and Anderson falling asleep during naptime within 5 minutes but Graham never had an afternoon nap-Mom pushed him in the stroller, then Grannymom and then Jenna pushed him too! We have put lots of miles on his stroller on this trip
• Supper at Grannypa’s cabin and then a very short hike-Graham has been too distracted to eat since we came here but he did chow down on Grannymom’s cake
• Sliding for a few minutes then sitting out on the back porch and listening to the rain
• Reagan coloring, Anderson working a puzzle and Graham wrestling with a pillow until bedtime
