Vicarious vacation fun

This is another post full of cell phone pictures sent to me by my sister Kara or Cherise. Love seeing these kids having fun and being able to picture exactly where they are and what it feels like to be there.
Vicarious vacationing at it's best!
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Rowan and Katie were checking out a brick oven at Ft Wilkins State Park in Michigan's Copper Harbor. I'm thinking that the "Pat-a-cake" rhyme may have been recited by children in the vicinity of this fort when it was inhabited between 1844 and 1870.
Silly stroller girls
 Evie is pointing at something and Anabelle is laughing.  Looks like their enjoying their day exploring the northern most point in the state of Michigan.
Cousins + a couple of extras
 I forgot to ask Kara who the two little blonde kids that are on either side of Rowan are.  It's pretty much family tradition to pose on or near this wagon when visiting the Fort.
 From left to right and top to bottom: Hayden, mystery boy, Rowan, mystery girl, (my sister's girl) Alexa, (and boy) Luc, Henry, Katie, Evie and Anabelle. Bellie girl was in rare form that day. Look at her goofy pose!
Good to the last lick
 The whole gang ate homemade pasty at my mom's house this evening.  Katie was using "my bowl". When there were just three of us, my brother's and I each had our own bowls.  Dave's was blue, Gerry's yellow and mine was pink. Katie seemed to enjoy the yummy yogurt dessert that Aunty Kara made for the occasion.
Clean living in the Yoop
 Henry and Katie had a bath together after their site seeing trip. I want to see sauna pictures of all these kids.  Put 'em all in buckets and take some pics. If this Gramma was there, they'd be in the sauna every night! Gotta foster that Finn side when you get a chance.
Cute co-pilot
Cherise is usually co-piloting when Kiel is driving but I'm sure she fit in the backseat with the car seats better than Hayden did. He looks like he's made for the job though sporting those aviators.
Two weeks down and less than two weeks to go of his vacation.
Can't wait to hear all about his trip!
