Benny's Many Faces

These are from our time at the lake, but I took so many, I thought they could just be in a post alone... Love this little face!














A trip to the lake

We just got back from a visit with my fabulous Aunt Karen and Uncle John at their lake house. Because of distance, work schedules, etc., we don't get to seem them nearly as often as we would like. I've always admired my aunt and uncle because they're wonderful people. They're out to make the world a better place. What was really special to me this time, however, was watching my uncle interact with Benjamin. They are two peas in a pod.

When Jake and Lindsey are together in a photo, apparently rays of sun shine down from the heavens and the angels start singing. They're ridiculously beautiful.

Such a beautiful view!

Benjamin loved being in the lake, even though the water was pretty cold!


Ben and his new best friend. Uncle John let him drive the boat!

Superhero run!



Jake and Andy were pretty inseparable. You might wonder why I don't have many photos of Jacob from this trip. Well, he and Andy were pretty much off on their own doing 8/9-year-old boy things like playing video games and arguing over the rules of Star Wars Monopoly.









I regret not getting a good photo of this, but if you look very carefully, you can see Benjamin fishing with Uncle John on the dock.

The last night at the lake.... Benjamin was completely out during dinner.
