Fountain, MI July 5th

Saturday we went up to Aunt Wendy's and Uncle Kim's house in Fountain. We have been doing this for a few years now, and have a great time every time we go. They live in a lake (William's lake), and have a huge yard, so all the kids run around, fish, swim, play volleyball, play tether ball, do the slip and slide, do water balloons, and just have a ball. This is the Fisher side of the family.

Amaya gets in the water as soon as possible. She just hangs out there, and doesn't even mind all the slime or whatever else comes with the swampy plants. This year when she got out, she was covered with a ton or red bumps which itched. She is a total drama queen, so she cried, then was on the verge of tears for an hour afterwards. Reguardless, she did not return to the lake water after that. She did jump in the inflatable pool with Jake and Kiley however.

After swimming, Jake and Austin went fishing (for a short while), but didn't catch anything, so they just left the poles out (I know, not so safe), so, when the older girls were going to out and swim, they found Amaya's pole in the water, just enough to have caught a fish. Dumb fish, there wasn't even a worm on the hook.

Squirting Uncle Butch.

Ryan had fun running around with the squirt guns and throwing the water balloons. Grandpa would fill one, hand it to Ryan, and he would throw it and break it immediately, over and over again.

Bubbles, bubbles, all little kids love bubbles.

Volleyball fun.

Out came the slip and slide. Ryan, Jake, Amaya and Kiley had some more fun.

We really enjoy going up here each year. It is quite relaxing and fun to get together with the family. While up there, I was thinking of how Jim collapsed, and how fast things happen. That whole cardiac arrest thing is still quite surreal to me, but I did think of how we easily could have been without Jim this year while we were up there. We are so thankful for everything that we have. We really are blessed.

Tired little bugs after the day. Jake and Amaya stayed at Aunt Lisa's Friday night, the night before, so they were really worn out. Ryan, I think was over tired and stayed awake for the entire car ride home.......

Crazy tent city from the music festival at the JJ Resort this weekend. I heard that these tent spots cost $450 per night. Can you say sardines????
