Holz Weekend at the Cottage

The Holz weekend at the cottage actually happened way back in early August, but since I have been a slacker about posting stuff, here it is... a month and a half later. Better late than never?

We got up to the cottage on Friday afternoon and everyone else got there on Saturday. On Saturday morning, Matt and Dad set up the tent outside. Cameron was happy to play while they did that. He found the trucks and was happy as a clam for hours.

Vrooooooooooom!

We caught lots of frogs this weekend. Cameron liked holding them himself and was very good about being careful with the frogs.

He liked to pet them too.

Time for the boats - Cam and Poppa in the paddle boat.

Once all of the Holz's arrived, the boats were out in full force. Jason, Nick and Poppa paddle the canoe in the foreground while Michael has the kayak in the background.

Matt and Tim also used a canoe

Poppa trying to give Leah a bottle. She was not having any of it.

Aunt Sue and Alex stopped by to say hi. Here is Aunt Sue meeting Leah for the first time.

Jason

Cam wanted to go in the kayak, so first Daddy took him.

Then he wanted to go for a ride with Mama.

Michael in the canoe

Jason took a turn in the kayak too.

We went for a walk and Mike gave Nick a ride.

Then Nick gave Cam a ride... unfortunately, Cam was pretty much just choking him while he was riding, so it didn't last for too long.

Leah snuggling with Poppa

Maybe a prince?

Nick caught one

Cam actually liked going in the "outside potty" - we made him pose like this!

There was a good bit of poker playing going on, and Cameron learned that he loved to play with the poker chips. Like a good little child of mine, he spent most of his time organizing them by color or making color patterns!!
