Elkhart bits and pieces

Pretty sure we had too much fun in Elkhart Lake this summer.  There are just too many pictures to sort through!  We windsurfed.  We stand-up paddled.  We kayaked.  We boated.  We fished.  We hiked around the lake (well, at least Arjen and I did!).  We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. We camped out at Tracy and Arden's.  We stayed at "our" cottage on the lake for 2 weeks.  We saw fancy race cars in town for Road America.  So here are yet some more pics to help us remember all the fun we had!

Father-son evening paddle - Arjen loved learning to kayak using Aden and Adalin's junior kayak.  He struggled to understand that it wasn't actually his!

3 generational paddle (Gpa Wayne, Arjen, Andrew)

Arjen and Gpa Wayne.  Could not get that kid off the water!

Some pirate fun back at Gma and Gpa's house.

Arjen "learning" to windsurf!

The boys "helping" water Gma's flowers

There's just a few million dollars worth of cars in this parking lot.  Anyone want a Ferrari?

Pretty much a morning ritual - head outside to play with all the toys!

My boys out ridin'

The early birds and their near matching hair

Gus tries so hard to be just like the big kids (who he observed jumping from raft to trampoline and back again!). 

Having fun playing with Adalin's dolls - and yes, Arjen is also wearing Adalin's bike helmet, tiara and all!

Oh the fun I had trying to keep a straight face all morning while playing with these 3!

Well, the raft didn't make it out on the water, but Arjen and Adalin sure had fun making it the center of their make-believe world!

I believe they were supposed to be sleeping in their beds here, possibly while camping if memory serves.  They later proceeded to put on a gymnastics routine for me, that involved them jumping, running, balancing, and "ta-da"-ing around.  It was quite entertaining! I think Adalin really enjoyed having a younger someone who followed her every move and order, and I'm pretty sure Arjen was in heaven, getting to play like a big kid!
