down by the bay...

we joined kristie, tammy, and danny's family for a fun day in the bay a couple of weekends ago. (we are actually technically family... brian's brother married kristie... but they treated us like family long before then.) anyway, we love spending time with their family, and this day was no exception. the kids had fun in the bay, and natalie even went on her first tube ride behind pappy's boat! ethan and joseph loved playing "bumper floats", and caroline refused to take a nap while we were in the water because she knew we were all having fun without her! (at least that's what i'm guessing.... and she gets that from her momma!) as you can see by the last pictures, the fun in the sun finally wore everybody out! i especially love the one of karina completely zonked in the swing! what a fun day we had with family and friends.
