la vacación: part 2

Next we headed up to Washington to be with Doug's fam. We started the visit off with a definite bang--I had the flu (ever thrown up on a plane? now I have!) and Doug had strep throat. Doug's strep seemed to last forever, so we're bummed he felt drained for so many days while we were there. But once all the sickness passed, the playing began...

Boating time.

This girl SCREAMED every time we put her life jacked on, so when the big kids stopped to swim she was thrilled to take off the life jacket and enjoy the towel basket.

Marshmallow guns. Pure genius.

Evenings on the porch. (And meeting another one of her aunts!)

Catching stupid snakes.

Taking pictures of Addy with stupid snakes when Jackie wasn't around. (She looks amazingly cute despite the circumstances, no?)

Napping and relaxing. (Mason got his cast off while we were there... a big moment!)

Introducing Addy to her first solids.

Apparently rice cereal ain't bad!

Watching TV with Grandpa Mike.

Feeling the love from the cousins.


Such a fun time!

Addy seems like quite a celebrity! And her ability to be totally nonchalant around snakes only adds to her allure.

There is no way Addy could be any cuter. Absolutely none. Unless you buried her in a pile of kittens.

Doug is like a true mountain man to hold those snakes so casually! (And to catch them too! Wow.) And the marshmallow gun really adds to his image!
