White Lake 2012

Here are a few pictures of the annual Avery family reunion down at White Lake...

Most nights after dinner we had fun playing kickball. There's a video of Ellie kicking at the end of this post!

Lucy got a lot of attention from her older cousins!

Just us girls

Ellie spend most of her time in the water in her float this year.

Thanks to this curious girl, I spent most of my time chasing her around instead of relaxing this year.

Here's a video of Ellie kicking the kickball for the first time...

Today was Ellie's last day of preschool for the year. And you would think by how emotional I got on the way to drop her off this morning that it was her last day EVER! I tell ya' these girls do it to me every time. I've always been a crier, don't get me wrong, but since becoming a Mommy the waterworks flow even easier. Every milestone, is great and such a joy to experience with them, but it also means they are growing up. Even though some days I look forward to exiting this stage, others I want to cling to it for dear life because it means they are still little and innocent.

I can't believe how much she's grown since the first day...here.

Hoola Hoop

A month ago for a fun activity I took Ellie to the dollar store with $5 to spend however she wanted. One of her purchases was this hoola hoop. It has provided lots of entertainment and some great laughs, too. I guess I should tell her she needs to shake her hips instead of her shoulders and head...or maybe I'll just wait a little while! :)
