Lake Hope Pictures! (A Month Overdue!)

We went to Lake Hope a month ago almost now, in mid-October, and had a wonderful time. I have been wanting to share of few of our pictures, both for those of you who went and those who didn't! It is one of our favorite traditions Michael's family has been doing for many years.

Liam had fun doing lots of things, like playing with his cousins:
Exploring new ways to cause trouble (I think he's trying to steal someone's water bottle!):
Breakfast with Grandma:
Of course, watching trains!
Meeting new friends, like little Leah
Just chillin' out
There were lots of kids to play with, two aren't pictured even! (Notice Liam and Daddy almost have matching jackets too)
Our friends Justin and Sarah and their two little ones, Noah and Leah
Hi BIG horsey!
Liam (11 m) and Leah (9 m) learning to play. They both wanted the same toy...
Leah takes it so Liam attacks, licks her head, and messes up her hair!
The aftermath...
Liam get the toy...
Until Leah notices and decides she wants it back!
Leah's turn! It looks like he is saying, "Hey Mom, she took it!"
We went on several fun hikes as well

Playing with his cousin Addison, who was also trying to take him on a little walk (reminder for anyone who wants to see them better, just click on them!):
Laughter, while saying goodbye
