Who says having a newborn slows you down? Third babies have to go with the flow and that’s exactly what little Jamison did. He checked into his first hotel in Moose Lake, MN at exactly 10 days old. No time for recovery… we have places to go and things to do. Moose lake is close to Grandma and Grandpa Bill’s lake home where the boys love to splash in the water, run around, play with JJ (Grandma and Grandpa Bill's chow-chow), and just be silly.
Home, unpack, laundry, repack.
Off to Moose Lake again when Uncle Adam and Auntie Sara drive up from Texas to visit. Shhhh… they wanted to surprise Mom so when we arrived I walked around with Wiggins and asked “do you like our new dog?” You could almost see her mind turning and then it clicked – Adam is here! And then…the waterworks… We had so much fun with Uncle Adam and Auntie Sara and wish we could see them more.

Next desination is Papa’s house on Lake Wappogasset with Auntie Camille, Uncle EJ and all the cousins who were visiting from Germantown, Tennessee. Aunt Cookie also came to see us from Chicago. We partook in the annual turtle races, a sprinting contest and watched cousin Evan’s baptism in the lake. No trophy this year but it was only kind of us to share the wealth since we took home the trophy for turtle race (large category :) last year! It was so fun to watch all of the cousins together and how quickly they bound in such a short time!
Home, unpack, laundry, repack.
Next in line is a road trip to Wausau, WI with the cousins to have some water fun. Mom and Dad were nervous wrecks the whole time but the boys didn't have a care in the world. They played on pink whales, tackled very large waterslides, floated in the lazy river. 
From Wausau, we made the short trip to Green Bay for the Cornelly Family Reunion. We had intended to take a travel break this particular weekend and forego the reunion, but in the end we decided we couldn’t miss it. Much to everyone’s surprise, we just showed up at the hotel. The highlight of the weekend was Mommy and Daddy winning the much coveted balloon tossing contest. The boys were proud little soldiers cheering for us from the sidelines. Let me tell you, these milk filled bosoms definitely come in handy when catching a water balloon ;). 
We are feeling a little hairied after our crazy busy summer but we wouldn't trade it for the world - nothing beats spending lots of quality time with our families. Thank you to Auntie Camille, Uncle EJ, the Memphis cousins, Aunt Cookie, and Grandpa Florida for coming to see us. We had a blast!
