Hot Springs 2012

 We went on a family trip to Hot Springs, AR for Labor day weekend with my family.  This is the beautiful house Nonna and Papa were generous enough to rent for us.

Notice our friend, the crane, that spent every morning with us on our dock.  He stood perfectly still until he saw a fish that was exactly what he wanted. It was such a beautiful area.   

Sweet Claire having her breakfast... probably her second breakfast.  This girl loves to eat.

 

 

Nonna was as happy as she could be covered in her grandbabies.

 

 Good Morning, Uncle Andrew!

 

Ethan loves just hanging out with his daddy.

  

  

Uncle Andrew trying his hand at feeding Ethan...no small task I can assure you!

 

 I'm so happy Pappaw came with us. Precious memories!

 We spent a fun filled afternoon out on a pontoon boat. 

 Claire loved jumping off the boat to Papa, but wanted back in as soon as she hit the water.

 Ethan thought Aunt Sissy was very funny.

 We had lots of fun and everyone was ready for a nap on the way back to the house. 

 Justin and I took advantage of having all the family around and when into town for a date night.

Momma was kind enough to make spaghetti and meatballs and Claire enjoyed hers on the balcony.

 

 The boys had their first watermelon, and they loved it!

 

Poor Ethan was trying so hard to reach just one more piece!

 

We went on a hike through a national park.  Justin volunteered to stay and keep the boys, so I could get some exercise.

We hiked all the way to this waterfall.  The water was freezing, but very refreshing. Andrew and Papa let the waterfall give them a massage.

The boys turned 7 months old while we were there, so here are their 7 month pictures.

It's getting harder and harder to take their picture.  Adam is always on the move!
