Time in Cincinnati and Norris Lake

We were lucky to get to spend a week with family in Cincinnati and Norris Lake.  We got to be there for Peyton's 1st birthday and Gabby even came too!  Here are some pictures from our trip:
 Some pretty cute cousins!
This is really quite impressive ... the only reason they're all sitting relatively still is because they're immobilized by life jackets and limited space on the boat!  Not sure what Griffin's doing : ) 
All the kids love helping Pop Pop drive the party boat!
Griffin and Jordan had fun playing together in Jordan's play house
Grace spent about 20 minutes scooping water out of a bucket with an ice cream scoop and carefully carrying it over to dump what little water she had left in another container.  It was so cute to see her working so hard and concentrating so much!
All that work to dump a few drops of water!
She'd do the slide all day long if we let her!
Grace and Uncle Jason bonding 
Jordan brushing Griffin's hair ... the perks of having a girl cousin!
The kids love the porch swing!
Griffin hanging with Peyton
Griffin was pretty hesitant the first day or two to swim in the lake but loved it once he tried it!  
Josh on the paddleboard with Griffin and Jordan
Griffin loved the lake after getting comfortable!
"Helping" BeBop row the boat
Another attempt at a picture of all four kids ... again, not easy!
Brooke and Grace
The girls having breakfast together
BeBop and Grace playing on the party boat
Griffin loved to point out the different types of boats!

BeBop and Gabby
Teeter totter on the lake!
Getting ready to celebrate Peyton's 1st Birthday!
And a group picture
Griffin and his dump truck
Building with Pop Pop
Griffin and Gabby on the ski boat ... we took her out on a pretty rough day and she was quite surprised by all the bumps!
Pretty good for 88 years old!  
Griffin had fun watching us ski and was practicing with the rope
Grace loved this little horse at BeBop and Pop Pop's house ... 
And Griffin loved the tricycle
It was fun to have such a big driveway to play in!
This is at Peyton's birthday party ... we all had so much fun!
Running from BeBop
Matching outfits!
Adorable.
Griffin and Jordan have so much fun playing together!
We're relentless at trying to get a good one of all four of them!
It was great to have Gabby there too

Griffin and Jordan love playing ping pong on top of the table! 
Fun at a park
Grace's favorite - the slide!
Gabby & I
Griffin tried watermelon for the first time!  This lead to a whole slew of trying new foods!  We were so proud of him.
He loved pulling this wagon of tennis balls around!
4 generations!
