Fun in the Sun

A big part of my two week vacation to the Midwest was spent in Michigan at Round Lake. This was Johanna's first trip to the family cottage. I was excited to bring her to the place that I spent every Summer as a child. It was fun watching her play with all the same toys that my Sister and I played with as little girls.

 Here is my Nephew, Max. Isn't he the cutest?

And here is the newest addition to their beautiful family, Leo Michael.

My Grandma (Oma) my cousin Cassandra and my Mom.

 No matter how hard I try to keep her eyes protected this child refuses to wear her sunglasses!

 Papa taking her into the lake... she wasn't too sure of the water at first.

She warmed up to it quickly though and then couldn't get enough of the water.

 We realized quickly that slow boat rides put Johanna to sleep within the first five minutes. I decided to bring her in her car seat for the ride in hopes that she would fall asleep and it worked like a charm. She zonked out in minutes then slept for a nice long nap. Wish I could do that here every time she has a hard time going down!

This two were inseparable!

 Like I mentioned before, Johanna absolutely adores baby Leo. I would have to watch her like a hawk. The minute I took my eyes off of her she would find him wherever he was.
