Okoboji

***WARNING*** Longest blog post ever!!!!!!!! :) We had a wonderful time in Okoboji over the 4th. This was our 3rd trip up there since the end of May, but the first time I remembered to bring my camera. The 4th is always a lot of fun at Okoboji b/c all of Mike's family makes the trip up there, so Scott, Nora, Grace, Grant and Guy made the trip from St. Louis. And Chris made the trip from Phoenix. We haven't seen Scott and his family since Christmas, so Stella fell in love with Grace again! They had a great time together and Grace was so good to Stella. In the above photo is Stella and Grace playing in the Jeep. They would duck down anytime a car would drive by and yell "CAR"!
Below is Stella, Porter and I on the 4th, they are sporting their 4th of July head-gear courtesy of Nana and Papa. They actually wore their headbands for quite awhile that night.

Porter the bartender?!?!? :)

The Grant-ster.....he had a nasty fall a couple of days before we got to Okoboji and had scrape on his nose.

Guy-Guy-----SO CUTE! Love his dimples! :)

Chris playing the piano with S & P, Chris really plays the piano great!

In Arnolds Park (the local amusement park).

I took Stella to Arnolds Park one day when P was sleeping. She has a season pass, but Porter is mostly too small to ride on anything. She has a lot of fun going to Arnolds Park.

Stella and I went to our dear friend, Lucy's, house today as soon as we got home to welcome their newest family member, Eva. Eva is SOOOOOOOO cute! Stella is in love with her, as am I. She *almost* gives me baby fever!! :)
