June Cottage Trip, 2012!

June 16th, ARRRRRR me and me scurvy crew headed to the Cottage with a hunger for adventure in the high seas, or hey, wherever the cottage is, really. See this image larger.

We let Grampa Dave drive the boat eventually. See this image larger.

We went down the to the beach right out of the gate and cooled off!

Arrrr!

Smile under the visor! See this image larger.

Grampa Dave read Ian a book in the afternoon. See this image larger.

Grandma Marcia read Nina a book in the afternoon, too. See this image larger.

Ian looked like he was right about to fall asleep, started doing a lot of wide-eyed staring. See this image larger.

Nina DID fall asleep, right there in Grandma Marcia’s arms.

June 17th, she bangs the drums!

Bein’ a tough girl, playin’ with the boy toys! See this image larger.

Ian played with a plane launching toy Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia bought last year… note the plane is partially in-frame, on the left. See this image larger.

Nina launched a few too. See this image larger.

Ian’s plane retrieval system involved a plastic golf club. See this image larger.

This is my baby girl, Nina. She’s getting big, quick. See this image larger.

She’s a fighter, that one! See this image larger.

Be advised of her warrior stance! See this image larger.

You will not be able to withstand her strength and fury! See this image larger.

Or stop yourself from pinching those cheeks! See this image larger.

*Relaxed person!* See this image larger.

Chillin’ with Mommy! See this image larger.

*Isn’t this great?* See this image larger.

Goin’ full tilt on Grampa Dave’s boat! See this image larger.

“WEEEEEEEEE!” See this image larger.

I was probably in the key visibility spot at this point, taking a picture.

Ian feelin’ the need for more speed! See this image larger.

Wow. Has anybody seen that Firestarter movie? See this image larger.

We dropped by the park! Ian teetered! See this image larger.

Nina tottered! See this image larger.

Over the bridge, back to the cottage! And eventually… home. We had a great time guys! Definitely one of the “ups” of June! See this image larger.
