The last leg of our trip was back to Boji (Bridges Bay) for the week of July 4th! This time we got a 1st level room so the boys could run around (in their undies) outside - it was awesome!
 |
| Yes... they are in the jammies and yes, Ethan is in his underwear! |
The first night dad came up and we all went to eat at Miles by Smiles and these awesome little mini-taverns that they called Charley Boys (and some big awesome drinks). Drew loved the taverns and the tots!
He also loved Papa's silliness -- he sure has a way of getting these boys to giggle!
 |
| Drew - are you ready for this??? |
 |
| HAHAHAHAHA!!! |
 |
| MORE, MORE! |
So on the 'more' note, Lukey taught Drew the sign for 'more' on this trip! It was crazy how fast they learn things from each other!
Considering it was about 95 degrees in Florida while we were up there - I had to get a snapshot of the morning temp... it was a little brisk, but beautiful!
I don't have any pics from the visit- but I was able to spend some time with childhood friend Juli (Volkert) Johnson -- it was so much fun to catch up with her and meet her kids (minus Camden... I didn't get to meet that little bugger). We had such a great time - crazy how so many years can pass and you can pick up right where you left out and have lots of great laughs like old times!
Pooltime with daddy!
And more play time with the cousins!

| Can't get enough 'Ring around the Rossie!' |

Drew loves his cousin Ethan so much. He watches every move he makes and is just HAPPY when Ethan plays with him! Which by the way -- 'happy' was a word Drew learned on this trip. Whenever he got really excited he would jump up and down and say 'happy, happy, happy'!
4th of July poolside! The boys took awesome naps so we were able to relax for a couple hours (with some 4th of July cocktails, of course :)
We ended the 18 day adventure with a trip to 'The Park'! I promised that every year we go back I am going to take a picture of Drew in front of this sign...
 |
| Maybe next year, mom? |
 |
| Family selfie! |
 |
| Bye-Bye Boji -- see ya next year! |
This truly was a wonderful vacation and we made such great family memories. It was so sad leaving.. I hate even thinking about the drive back to Minneapolis to fly back. But we are already looking forward to next year! I can't wait for the moment when Drew understands that he we are going on a trip to see all of his cousins and family in Iowa - makes me smile just thinking of the excitement he will have one day!
I love all of these pictures!! It was so great to see you!!
