Vaca in July

Last week Steve had a week vacation...how kind of the Lord to give him rest and let us spend time with him and other family. At the beginning of the week we headed to Ohio to visit my family. Nathan had a blast of course and Lydia warmed up quickly to everyone...except my brother:(

(I love the bed heads on both Papa and Lydia)

She did finally let him hold her...for a minute or two:) We have proof!

We did have a great time with everyone. we really enjoyed the creek walk and I know Nathan's highlights were playing with his cousins and watching the fireworks on the 4th in Gramma and Papa's driveway:)

Back home we had a much needed rainy day. Nathan enjoyed playing in the rain and I had to include this one of Lydia:)
Another highlight for Nathan..his canoe trip with Poppy and Daddy. He had been looking forward to this all week and he had a great time with the boys.

I think Poppy got to relax a little as well:)

It was a great week together. We did some shopping and caught up on some things around the house, we had a campfire with Aunt Meg and Uncle Jay and their kiddos and thanks to some dear friends Steve and I were able to squeeze a much needed date night into the week as well.
