My kids and Sara's kids got along famously. They were all trying to sit on the paddle board at the same time. It was so funny to watch them. Several ended up with friction burns afterwards.

Freya and Seth had a great time. Anything from swimming to metal detectors.

This one we have Eric pop up in the background and cute Ada giving Alexx a "what the heck" face as she takes pictures.
There were so many Canadian geese. Literally 25 or more every morning. We all thought someone had brought their dog to the lake.... but the geese were wandering through and pooping everywhere. I picked up at least two 5-gallon buckets full of poop with my kids when we got there so that everyone could use the beach.
Nellie brought a little metal detector and Seth with his cousin, Freya, were going around digging up bottle caps, nails and wires. Wade saw this and asked Bruce if he could borrow his actual metal detector. They dug holes happily all day and found a really neat discovery. My Mom's Grandma Harding used to call everyone to dinner with a little cow bell. It went missing years ago. These three found it! It was very rotted, but what a fun thing to find! Some of my older cousins say that they remember it. I personally don't, but it's so fun!
