Forest Lakes 2015

Our weekend trip to Forest Lakes this summer was an absolute blast. The second we got to the cabin, Blake was attached to his Opa! They immediately went to the garden where Opa showed him some different vegetables! (Opa pretended to pick this watermelon but he had actually bought it from the local store and put it under the bush for Blake to see! Ha!)

We took many golf cart rides around the block. Here Kade and I are cuddling in the back on our way to pick some eggs from someone who has chickens. Blake broke a couple as he threw them into the basket. He always cracks his hard boiled eggs at home, so he didn't realize he needed to be careful. I should have warned him! 

Blake shocked me with how well he played with these little people-animals and tree house. I have never seen his imagination so great. Its coming! 

Leave it to Kade to find the little blue rocks! Both boys enjoyed finding and playing with there. Blake even had 5 of them in his bed at night one evening. 

We went mushroom hunting in the forest during Kade's nap one afternoon. Blake kept looking for sticks and was excited to show us the ones he would find which were ALL OVER! It was cute though! 

Blake and I shared a bed - for the first time! I never knew he was such a wiggle worm and even talked in his sleep. So crazy for a kid who is in speech therapy. Love this little guy. In this picture, he looked at me, turned around and snuggled closer. 

On the way home, we stopped by the Forest Lakes Fire Department and the boys got to see the fire trucks and ambulances. Blake loves these right now. We look for them as we drive all of the time. He was so intent on me when I was explaining what everything did. Wish we could have heard what he thought of it all, but we are learning that those thoughts may be a while in coming. We are learning to appreciate what he does share, even how small it may seem to most people. 

We loved our cabin trip and our Omi and Opa! Kade got to know them even better and we had such a memorable weekend! :) We love you, Omi and Opa! Thanks for being the best great-grandparents to my boys! They love you!
