Ely August Visit

Monkey

Ellie & Mav

Sit still for a photo? No!

Run away from a photo? Yes!

He thinks it's funny that I'd try to take a picture of him sitting still with his yes open.

Mosquitoes love Mav, especially the forehead. 

Such a ham.

Walking down to the lake.

Brody giving out his landscaping expertise. 

Surveying the property with Grandma Cindy

This is Brody fishing...making someone else hold the pole.

Ok, he really did catch quite a few fish on his own. Grandpa Steve took them off the hook.

First ride on the pontoon, complete with snack time.

Brody did well swimming on his own in the deep water.

Jumping in off the dock with daddy.

Swimming with Grandpa Steve.

He had moments of hesitation, but if you don't ask him and just do it, he usually ends up having a blast!

Outside the wake.

Is that a boy having fun or what?!

Leave it to daddy to push the limits.

More tubing!

Brody & Grandma Cindy took the inflatable boat to a nearby floating dock...."don't lose the paddle!".

Making Grandma Cindy do all the work.

Making Grandpa Steve do all the work pulling him around the dock.

We made a visit to Ely in August and the weather was picture perfect! Brody got to do everything on his wish list. He went tubing, he swam in a nice wetsuit, he went fishing, he went on the pontoon, he took a sauna, he went for a nature hike, he picked and ate lots of berries, and lots of other fun stuff. Maverick had a blast, too!
