The Kavanaughs: 4th of July at the Cabin

We're back! We got the camera back just in time - Thursday morning before we left for the cabin. But, now it's not working again. Well, it works, but is having some of the same issues it started out having before it broke completely. So we have to call again - I really missed not having it though.

Anyway...we had a wonderful vacation at the cabin yet again this year. It's something we look forward to all summer. I was sick the week before, so we didn't get up there as soon as we were planning, but still made it on Thursday. Everyone was there Thursday night except for Morgan and Nicole - they had the practice bar exam, so they came up Saturday morning. Friday and Saturday were beautiful - we got in lots of swimming time! There were a ton of mosquitos at night, so we didn't do a fire or anything. Kailee had about 20 bites on one leg! Sunday it rained all day. I don't think we've ever had a day like that before. We still went to the parade, but that was all for outside. Sunday was really hot and muggy; we left around noon so the girls were able to swim in the morning. We're so thankful to the Deda's for letting us stay there every year. We have such wonderful memories, and I look forward to Kailee and Jocelyn making even more memories!

Each little kid gets their own sign above the playhouse door. So cute and nice!

Cory with the snapper he and Calvin caught

One day she was down by the water and I wasn't going to have her swim, but she really wanted to, so it was in with her diaper and nothing else!

Daddy and his girls waking up in the camper

So the four of us went for a canoe ride. We're about 2 minutes out, and Calvin looks back towards shore, and here come Ellie and Ginger, swimming out to us. Ginger despises water, so she must have been pretty sure we were going to leave her there forever! Dumb dogs. Ellie turned around when we did, but Ginger kept coming. Cory had to pull her into his kayak and bring her back to shore.

Jocelyn had fun playing with the playhouse toys - we found some antiques - toys we had when we were little!

This is one of her favorite books, and she's been loving sunglasses lately too!

I hope the candy is worth it!

All the fireworks that were set off on the 4th. Two of the six dogs HATE fireworks, and Ellie is one of them. She sat in the shower the whole time they were setting them off. Poor thing.
