We all arrived sometime on Friday the 14th. We had dinner together but then were all so tired it was an early night.
So our first real family activity was bright and early Saturday morning - we went for a hike up to Eagle lake.
How lucky are we to have such strong menfolk to help with the youngins?
It was a pretty long hike and quite a bit of elevation for little legs. Evette had a hard time getting into it at first, and was super whiny. After a pep talk and following in Auntie Megan's footsteps, she got over it pretty quick. She even scrambled up after Auntie Megan off the trail to be on top of the world.
Evette hiked the rest of the time all by herself! She was a trooper.
Miriam had a grand ol' time and loved hanging out with Papa the whole hike.
This was our destination! Not bad, eh?
There was even swimming involved for some!
The water was freezing!
But little Evette was a trooper, once again, and had a blast swimming with Papa!
Megan desperately wanted to be the Little Mermaid - she's even singing the song, here :)
These babies were not so much a fan of the cold water, but had fun digging in the dirt together.
I don't know whose idea it was, but all of the siblings decided to swim all across the lake to the little island.
And they all made it!!!
Look at those happy frozen siblings!
And drying off before putting their shoes back on.
We had a grand time and spend a good chunk of time there.
The hike back down was not a very happy experience for some:
Ha! Poor baby James!
At least he fell asleep pretty quick!
We had a great hike!
