Memorial Day continued

So I'm still trying to figure out this posting thing. Sorry about that.During the time that we were all playing PIT together, we kept trying to get Jake to play with us but he didn't want to. This is what he wanted to do instead. If I remember correctly, he did eventually come and play.
Here Kyle and I are comparing our pregnant bellies with one another. This was the end of May so I was only about 3 months. Who has the bigger one?
Mom and Dad relaxing out on the deck looking out at the beautiful scenery.
Here we all are playing PIT. It was really fun to get everyone in on the action (except Dad, he doesn't like the game so he hasn't played yet). If someone came around and didn't know what PIT was, they would be surprised and wonder why we were yelling at each other. For those of you that don't know, the game is based off of the stock market. The players try to get all the cards of one kind by trading with everyone. Sometimes you have to get really loud to be heard over everyone else.
Kyle had a lot of fun with this little boy. He was there with his mom and little brother (daughter and grandsons of moms friend). Kyle wanted to do some exploring and get out of the cabin so he took the boys on a hike. They were gone for quite a while and each came back with their own walking stick. I don't remember what the bucket was for though. He's going to be such a good dad to our kids.
Jake rigged himself up a fishing pole to go down to the little creek behind the cabin. Surprisingly, he was gone for maybe 5 minutes and then he came back up the hill with something inside his little bag. He helped the little boy catch a baby frog or toad. They kept it in a pot of water until the poor thing turned over on its back and barely moved.

It was a great time. We really enjoy being this close to family where we get the chance to see and do these kind of things with the younger kids.
