Day 3 began with a rather successful attempt at getting some cute shots of all the girls in the matching dresses I had managed to score (yes - for all 4 of them in sizes ranging from 12 mo up to 5T!) at Old Navy the year before. My sister, despite having 2 little ones at home, somehow found the time to make them all these adorable headbands!
Greta and Sadie
Haley May
Cute cousins!
The girls
In the day 1 post, there's a picture of Greta caring for Lincoln. Here she is doing the same for Haley.
She is such a tender-hearted, loving little girl.
Later that morning, we took the kids fishing in those adorable little outfits of theirs. The boys had coordinating outfits also, but we never managed to get them all in the same place at the same time looking 1/2 way decent, so we had to settle for only a girls' photo shoot. You can see below how cutely coordinating Elias is, though.
Poppi and Greta - I love this shot
You can't go fishing without a snack in 1 hand, right?
Later that afternoon, the 20-somethings (on one of the last few days we could be called that as Steve's 30th birthday was the day after we got home from the trip) left the kiddos (all 7 of them!) home with the grandparents while we went on an afternoon rafting adventure. I'm pretty sure the 6 of us all agree that it was the best thing we did all week. We laughed like crazy, and then laughed even crazily that night while we played a game in which the jokes of the day got funnier and funnier as the night went on. It didn't even matter that it was cold and raining and we had a little scare over whether my pregnant sister in law should even go (she did and it was the right decision by all accounts) and something happened to my inner ear when I jumped off a 30 ft rock into the river that caused me a lot of pain - for hours, it was awesome!
