We were lucky enough to get our own week up at VBP, this meant we had 1 week with Nate's family and then a week for our family. Nate and I decided that it would be even better if my sister and her family joined us. 4 adults, 1 kid and 2 babies up at the lake. Considering the additional stresses in our life right now, this escape was needed for all.
Nate and I got up to the lake on a Saturday and were able to spend some time with some of his extended family who were still there. Always a good time. And we got to celebrate Paul's birthday!

Birthday time.
We got settled in and enjoyed the beach while waiting for the Eve family to arrive at VBP. They only got lost at the end of the trip when their GPS took them past the entrance and towards a boat ramp into the bay. Pretty successful trip with their 2 little ones.

There were non beach moments since it was a bit nippy and we had some rain. Savannah's my little pony collection grew this week.

And Savannah went for the big slide. No fear!
Baby Cici got to try puffs. She loved them.

Sunset time. Here are several nights. As Colleen said, it is like a Bob Ross painting. It has happy clouds.
We had some fun adventures together. The babies kept opposite nap schedules, so that made hanging out together hard. Savannah always had someone to play with.

There was a craft every day!
We taught Savannah the art of looking for lucky stones.

The men took a trip to Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY since it claims it created buffalo wings
The girls in exchange got a kid free afternoon. We checked out a local bakery in Fredonia. It was amazing.
We got Amish doughnuts and then went to luenzmans(sp?) overlook park to enjoy them. On a clear day you can see Canada.
The last night with everyone was a special night. We made smores on the beach.
It is always hard to say goodbye
I added some new artwork to the cottage. I hope you all get the joke. The table cloth caused many a twist tie to go missing. Can you find them all?
