Up Nort Part Deux

We were lucky enough to get to spend another week with the fam up in Hayward this past week. It was even better as Nate, and the Keaty's (sans Becca) were able to join for the whole week. It was quite lively with 3 little ones, but there was never a dull moment.

Finn went on his first speed boat ride with Gramps, and even caught a few fish!


Leo didn't get to go, and had to watch from the pier, but then got to partake in MUCH more fun activities...a true WI boy at heart.



There was a lot of interest in baby Tillie from the boys...


There was a lot of outdoor running around (can anyone say energy to burn?) and even some running around WITH tears.
And there was the 2nd Annual Dia De Los Adventuras, which is essentially a day for Nate and I to take Finn (and hopefully next year Leo too!) and spoil them like all Aunts and Uncles are supposed to do. Bakery. Game Store. Candy Shoppe. World's Biggest Muskie. Check.


And Grandma and I dominated the night-time bath sessions while the boys (the big boys that is) were out fishing.
It was a great week of family fun. It was also a great week in understanding just what we would be getting into if we were to ever consider having 3 children.....and I can say right now that it just wouldn't be happening unless Grandma moved in with us!
