Lake Norman Trip

Our Lake Norman trip is also known as our 1st annual "family" vacation because these ladies and their families are like family to me.  There were even t-shirts to celebrate the occasion.  :) We picked lake Norman because it was pretty centrally located between all of us and because our husbands love to fish.    It was close to 100 degrees most of the days we were there so we did a lot of playing in the air conditioning but we also got lots of lake time.  Having 5 kids in the house kept us entertained and lots of memories were made.    Here are some pics from the trip...

 Cohen is soo close to walking on his own!

 Ben and his daddy

 Audrey is eager to jump in and cool off

 Ben must have found a snack on the deck

 cute hubby and our cute baby

our tanning deck 

 I think he looks so much like a little man here

 The babies were so busy and on different napping schedules that it was hard to get pictures of them together but here is a cute one of Cohen and Hudson. 

 Apparently the home owner of the house we rented is an avid hunter.  There were 12 deer heads mounted in the living room and this target sitting in the back yard.  If you know me, you know I didn't love this.

Hudson's sneaky look

Shape sorter or a hat? 

Our trip to Zootastic...and yes we wore our matching t-shirts 

 It was SO hot!

 I love how his tongue is curled because he is laughing so hard.

 Ben is not happy about wearing the girl's tutu and he is going to hate that we have this picture in a few years.

 Loving auntie Sarah's singing

Uncle Ron surprised us and came home for the night!

Just love his squishiness :)
