We spent a wonderful week with my family at our cabin in Minnesota. Griffin had so much fun playing with his cousin, Aunt Cookie, Uncle Jason, and BeBop and Pop! From 1980-2010, the cabin provided us with countless family memories and we're thankful for each one of them!
Saying hello once we finally got there (it's a long drive!)
I was so excited to see my niece, Jordan!
Aside from playing in the sandpile and swimming, Jordan and Griffin spent most of the week begging their grandparents (who have no willpower) for cookies ... it was pretty funny!
Griffin loved playing on the tube!
Jordan and Griffin spent a lot of time playing together ... here, Jordan is pretending to brush her hair with a huge sand shovel!
We go to Companeros every year to get mud balls ...
... and when we were kids we always got pictures on this weird donkey, so naturally we attempted to get a picture of Jordan and Griffin on it too.
Griffin thought the donkey was actually going to move - he just sat down and waited for a ride, it was pretty funny!

Our neighbor fixed up this 1980 moped for us ... Josh loved it!

They had fun!

Griffin loved going over the wake!
More tubing ...
... and jet skiing! Griffin loved driving the jet ski!

Griffin and BeBop kayaking
Griffin and Jordan loved playing with Big Bobber - it's actually a cooler meant to stay in the water, but they dragged it around everywhere!
On mornings when the water is too choppy to ski, we cook a big breakfast together.
Griffin and Jordan all dressed up for the party our neighbor held for us since it was our last year.
Griffin playing at the Point
Lots of splashing!
We instructed them to hold hands, so they did, but they weren't sure what to do next!
This was one of our warmest days (we skiied in weather as cold as 55 degrees ...) ... but there was tons of fog on this morning!
The boys - Uncle Jason, Pop, Josh, and Griffin
Josh and Jason tubing
This is where Griffin spent most of the week - he loves sand!
He also loves driving the boat - he is very serious about it!

Griffin loved playing on the hammock
They spent lots of time playing in the sand with a bucket full of water - it was in the 50s and 60s and the first thing Griffin would do is pour the bucket of water all over himself!

Griffin and Big Bopper - he seriously loved Big Bobber more than anything!
