More Fun at the Cabin

This past weekend we were at the cabin again! More fun with more people. This time it was a fun cousin weekend. All of Lucy's Kobielush cousins were there.
Due to the swimmers itch episode last weekend, the guys started this visit by removing all of the snails from the beach in front of the cabin. Jer and dad created a snail shovel with a pitch fork and some screen. It is a great invention. The patent is pending and it will be in stores in the summer of '09.
Here are Jer and Sam hard at work. It is a pretty great image of Jer with no shirt and waders. He said he felt like going noodeling when he was done.

While the guys were working on the lake, the kids got to do some monster bubbles. Lucy is holding two of the bottles here.

Here they are - Ali, Lucy, Auntie Katie, Emily, Alyssa, David and Paola. Although you can't see her very well, Alyssa is in there. She is Jer's cousin and was visiting from California. We just met her for the first time. It was so fun to have her in MN.

Matt and Ryan. . . checking out the bubbles.
In and out and around and around.
Hmmm, Mommy says I'm not allowed to go outside by myself. If David is going, then I'm not by myself, right?
Bedtime Story.

The tent on the left is our new family tent. It is huge and it is great. Lucy slept in a tent for her first time on this trip. She loved the airmatress.

She also loved having her own lantern.

We made a stop at one of our favorite cabin spots. Rutger's lodge. We usually stop in for ice cream or iced coffees. This time we got to make an extra stop in the lodge for a quick ride.

And of course, we got ice cream. I just love blue ice cream (blue moon is my favorite). I think Lucy likes it too. She is licking it off her lips.

Another lick from Daddy.

Tom and Katie, just relaxing.
