Well, we survived another year at Brown County with the extended Cooper family. With a two year old, 2 three year olds, 2 six year olds, a 2 month old, and a 4 month old - there was never a dull moment! Brown County has such great memories for me with all my cousins (we've been going for over 25 years now) that i'm excited to experience the fun with my children. I'm looking forward to exploring the park and finding new things to do with them as they grow up.
The Abe Martin Lodge added a water attraction this year which we attended every day!
There is a zero entry pool with fountains, a lazy river, a water slide, and a volleyball area. (Sorry-this is the best picture I got on my camera!)
We took little table and chairs for the little kids to eat on.

Bubbles!
Watch out! There is a car coming!
Horse back riding this year... This is as close as Grace would get to riding a pony, and as close as I'd let Cooper get to riding a pony! I think he'd have done it - he was so interrested in watching them!
Jason, Ben, and Laura took a 30 minute ride. I think they all had a great time! (Not exactly how I remember my last trail ride...)
Checking out the playgrounds in the state park.
Ben and Laura headed south for the mountains, on their bikes, after the weekend.

Over the weekend you may have seen any number of poeple on the back of a bike....Jason, Shelby, Grace, Cooper... ?!?!
Always make time for a family pose!

On an additional note...
Cooper had his 4 month check up today and is perfect! He weighs in at 14 pounds 13 oz and is 26 1/4 inches long! That puts him in the 50th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for heighth! Because he is rolling from back to front and he likes to stand - the doctor commented that he must think he is a 6 month old already! He is happy all the time and eating well. We are starting to try to put him down unswaddeled and awake and hoping he'll stretch out sleep at night. (This is one of my least favorite times of infancy! I hate to hear him cry!)
Try and stay cool this week! Aunt Monica is home this week, so I'm sure I'll have lots more pictures to post next week too!
