The Lakes Redux

Well, I just can't get enough of The Lakes! Ellie, Lily, and I headed back north for a Fourth of July celebration on Long Lake. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Happy Fourth of July!! Here Ellie is with Uncle Mark.

It's like she never really left.

Ready for a pontoon ride...not really. We're starting to get the impression that Ellie doesn't really like boat rides all that much. Cry, cry, cry.

Maybe next year she'll get to experience Mama Mae's amazing cooking!

Just a cute picture of our peanut

Before we headed to The Lakes, we were able to celebrate Pat Whitman's 60th birthday. It was super fun for me because I got to see our friends, Anne and John. They live in Brooklyn, NY, so we don't get to see them much anymore. Here we are with Anne and Pat.

The Tinguely's Take Over the Rockies

To celebrate Grandpa Tinguely's 80th birthday, the entire family gathered in Rocky Mountain National Park at the YMCA retreat center in Estes Park. Grandpa and Grandma Tinguely had 8 children. Those children multiplied and their kids (Joe and I are some of those kids) multiplied, so it was a pretty big affair! There was lots of eating, lots of card games played, and lots of catching up to do. Oh yeah, we got to go hiking, too! It was a wonderful vacation and we're so glad we were able to make the trip.

A very serious game of cribbage

Ellie was never in need of someone to hold her (sometimes, she even got two holders at once!)

Thanks for carrying me, Dad! I love hiking!!!

Yeah, Mom, you can carry me, too...that'll be just fine.

Can we come back here soon?
