Cabin Vacation in the UP

We were up at the Lindahl cabin over the 4th of July week.  Like I said in Kaden's 10th month post, the mosquitoes were just awful, but we had a great time!  Surprisingly, Kaden didn't react or get any kind of bite marks on him unlike me and my countless bites all over my body.  Kaden just loved being by the water and playing in the sand.  He enjoyed "swimming" in the lake on the warm days, and he also went on his first boat ride.  We went in to town and saw the 4th of July parade and also watched the firework show in the evening.  Papa stayed home with the two sleeping little ones.  Every year, we celebrate 5 birthdays up at the cabin; Jed's, John's, mine, Anne's, and Wes' birthdays are all a few weeks apart spreading from mid June to mid July.  Deb plans the birthday party and has a surprise theme.  This year it was happy bird-day.  Deb decorated the cabin with birds, and we wore bird-like masks too.  I got a lot of these pictures from Deb-thanks!, and she isn't in most of them unfortunately.  John's grandpa was also able to spend time with us at the cabin as well.
