This past weekend, we celebrated my nephew Caleb's 5th birthday at his grandparents' lake home in Burlington. It was a great Ninja Turtle-themed time full of boat rides, yummy food and fun in the water.
In the Lake...

| Mom & Avery |
 |
| The boys (big & small) splashing in the water |
 |
| Sadly after hearing of the events at Disney world this week, this picture brought on a whole different meaning. :( My heart goes out to the little boy's family. |
 |
| Jump Micah! |
On the Boat...
 |
| Avery & Papa |
 |
| Caleb, Eliza & Micah preparing to watch the tubing action. |
 |
| Asher was brave and willing to be the first to go tubing. He and Eric had a lot of fun cruising around the lake together. |
 |
| Eric trying to get Asher to raise his arms up. |
 |
| Eliza cheering them on. |
 |
| Caleb & Micah enjoying the excitement and cheering too! |
 |
| Aaron & Avery |
 |
| You can't tell in these pictures, but Asher had a huge smile on this face! |
 |
| He did it! Asher raised his arms! |
 |
| Next up is Caleb. He wasn't real sure about this, but we convinced him to give it a shot. |
 |
| Again, you can't tell, but Caleb enjoyed himself and had a big smile on his face once he got comfortable with it. |
 |
| The last kid to go was Avery. Micah and Eliza didn't want to try it out, but Avery did. He happily went into the tube but did have a look of "what did I get myself into?" when he got there. Once they got going though, he had a blast and Eric said he was laughing the whole time...other than when they hit some large bumps and he looked a bit concerned that he might fly out! |
 |
| Asher waving at Daddy and his little Bro. |
 |
| When the tubing was finished, the Jim and Eric ended our boat ride with a bit of water skiing. |
 |
| The boys had fun watching Daddy on the lake. |
 |
| Love Avery's expression! When he really gets excited to smile, his little eyes always end up tightly closed! |
Craft Time: When we got back on shore, the kids had fun spraying a white sheet with watercolor paint to give it a tie-dyed look...
 |
| Hudson decided to spray himself. He looked like he had Smurf Measles. |
Presents!...

You can't have a Birthday Party without cake!...
