Memorial Day

We opened the cabin back in March, but Memorial Day is when things really get happening.  The canoe gets cleaned out:

The floating dock gets put in.

The canoes get brought down.

It's not all work.  There are s'mores.

Bowling.

Dancing.

Don't forget to tip the organ player.

Sunset dips.

Rocky the Redbird

Rocky - the Redbirds' mascot - made a surprise appearance at t-ball.  Needless to say, the kids were all thrilled.

Triple Crown

The kids got really obsessed with horse racing after this year's Derby and Preakness so they took it upon themselves to make jockey silks and have their own races in the backyard.

Not sure what's up with Frank and his Australian flag.

Photo finish!

Violin Recitals

Phoebe started playing the violin this year.  It is all her - something she really wants to do.  She has a lesson once a week and practices in her room just about every night.

Her first solo recital was at the U of M.  She was nervous.

But she did great.

The rest of the players.

Post recital flowers.

Little brothers!

And a few weeks later she had her first group recital.

Gymnastics

Frankie's gymnastics showoff... from 2 months ago. Better late than never.  Go Frank!

Trifecta

It's a big weekend when you have a b-day, mother's day, and anniversary back to back to back.  A tastefully adorned peanut butter pie for the lady of the house: 

This is Forty!

Phoebe walks a wall.

Secret wig wam!

Train outside the Hardy library.

Relaxing on the dock.

Setting off.

Solitaire.

B-day dinner at The Copper Feather.  Shirley Temples and G&Ts.

On the dancefloor.
