Our "Stay-cation" - Part 2

Aidan had his appendix removed the week before we headed to the cottage, so we were worried that he might not be able to participate in all of the planned activities but by Tuesday morning he was ready to head out in the tube with Alexia and Carson. They were bounced around quite a bit, but they were all laughing and smiling the whole time.

Carson really wanted to catch a fish, but despite trying repeatedly from both the boat and the dock, didn't even catch one.

We had a camp fire a couple nights to roast marshmallows and make smores - both Aidan and Misty liked this activity.

Blake's Sea-doo was a very popular mode of transportation - Aidan just loved going out on it to get the morning paper! Here is Carson driving (safely tied to the dock).

Camping out - Baker style

We aren't very good at camping - Mike and I really don't like to rough it too much, so when we go on vacations we always stay in hotles or condos. But really, there is nothing like a good campfire, so we decided to have one on our front lawn - complete with marshmallows and smores. Luckily we have a stump that needs to be removed, so we just built the fire beside it and set up our lawn chairs.

I guess we need two more chairs if the dogs each think they should get one!

Here's Carson roasting his mashmallow to perfection (or maybe that was the one that burst into flames).

It's so hard to get both of them to pose for a "nice" photo!!
