Memorial Day Weekend

It was a pretty miserable weekend.  It was cold, windy, and rainy.  James and Skylar each brought a friend up, so all seven kids were cooped up in the house.  Things were a little rough and tempers flared (ie. a lot of fighting)!  See Exhibit 1 below.
 A little rough housing and Skylar lands on the side of the couch.  She cried for a good 30 minutes and I started to think maybe she ruptured something, so we went to the emergency room to be sure. Everything turned out fine, although Skylar was totally humiliated at having to pee in a cup.  Later that day, we did see a fantastic movie, Epic.  It was really good.

Finally, as the last hour of our first weekend up at the lake came to a close, the sun decided to shine!!!  The kids dashed into their suits and attempted to get into the water.  The boys chickened out (remember, they got in the water in March last year) and decided on a paddle boat ride instead.
  
 Skylar and Cassidy braved the water for 3 seconds each and then had to warm up in the sun!
 As we were pulling out of the driveway, it was miserable again, but we were sure happy to have those 15 minutes of sunshine!
