Daly Family Reunion at Spider Lake

After visiting with the Quincey Fam, we headed north to Traverse City for the Daly Family Reunion at Spider Lake.  It was so nice to see ALL of our family members (Grandma + 16 Aunts/Uncles + 30ish Cousins!!).  All of Riley's new cousins were so sweet with him, and he loved all of the extra attention.  We had gorgeous weather every single day (I don't think that has EVER happened in the history of our Michigan trips!), and we enjoyed ever second by the lake.

On the road again, what a seasoned traveler!

Laid back, relaxing in his "spa", with a brewski! Happy 4th!

Beni decided to join the party!! My cousin Katie had Beni 6 weeks after Riley was born, so they became fast friends.  As we were bathing the babies Matt asked us if we ever thought we'd see the day when we'd be bathing our kids together, and we both answered "uhh yeaa!" at the same time!

Early mornings on the porch were one of our favorite times of day.

Then it was time to spend the rest of the day lakeside... such a rough life :)

Cool shades, Dude.

Riley is looking forward to learning all sorts of fun activities from his cousins in the years to come! Like...

Tubing

Fishing...

Skiing

(Miss Gina got up on skis for the first time, and went around the lake three times!!)

We'd spend our evenings drinking a few beverages and eating delicious meals made by Melissa (chef).  The week flew by WAY too fast!

The new Grandmas with their babies

Beni was always so sweet and content.  Riley was constantly on the go and ready to go for a run! They both certainly kept us entertained!

The boys were trying to teach Riley how to crawl. He is SOO close! They put his favorite toy just out of reach to see if he'd crawl to it.

Riley got some special snuggle time with Grandma (his Great Grandma!) too.

Aunt Angie made him a pretty cool shirt that says "chicks dig me" on the front and "Little Prince" on the back... true and true!

More QT with Beni... working on their tummy time together!

Holding hands... 

Thank you, Grandma Daly, for another memorable trip to Spider Lake with the family! We love you!
