cabin fun!

summer is FINALLY here! we have been spending every weekend at the cabin. because russ is an awesome salesman, he scored mondays off work, so now we have a true weekend! we usually head to the cabin on saturday afternoons and now we are able to stay until monday night. its fantastic! last weekend, i took the girls out early so we could attend innsbrook's 30th anniversary memorial party. skylar got to jump in a BOUNCE HOUSE!! she also went down a gigantic blow up slide. both rides she tried to ride on were broken, but she had a lot of fun anyway. we bought a golf cart to run around in out there, and she thinks thats an amusement park ride in itself. here she is, finishing up her snow cone after the party. of course, all bianca wanted to do was chew on my keys. ;-)

in the spirit of summer, aunt mimi bought the girls these custom (of course) coordinated beach towels. i love them! and so do they, as you can see! i think i am going to be ultra cheesy and order one for myself too. i think they are darling! maybe i could even get russ one with a fish on it or something... hmmmm....

by the way, check out skylars long, lanky, legs. she gets that from me, for sure. hahahaha!

we only have a shower at our cabin, and skylie girl is way too big for a sink bath, so ive been giving the girls a "hoosier bath," as i call it, in this pink storage tub. they think its a ton of fun to be crammed in with each other. there isnt even any room for a rubber duckie. hey, ive got improvise! its either that or sandy sheets. ewwww.

we had some serious time in the sun this weekend. of course the girls were coated in sunscreen, and to be ultra safe, we have a little baby cabana for bianca. she was ok with sitting in there, but she mostly wanted to eat the sand! what is it with kids and eating random stuff? sand? seriously?! skylar did the same thing, so i should have known she would too. skylar built a sandcastle, and swam out to the raft with russ. she is pretty brave for being 2.5!

of course, i was behind the camera and not in any of the pics. there will be pics of me next weekend though!!! t-6 days until my triathalon! check back in to see if i make it through!
